SUBMISSIONS ARE OPENING! 🎉

As of December 1st, we'll be opening submissions ONLY for the following genres:
• Adult non-fiction
• Juvenile non-fiction (ages 6-11)
• Middle grade fiction (ages 8-12)
• Young adult fiction (ages 12+)

Check the link below for more info, and please read and follow the submission requirements carefully to ensure our editorial team is able to properly review your submission. Any questions about the platform or process can be directed to Submittable's support team—our social media is not monitored 24/7, and that kind of tech support should be left to the pros!

As a team, we ask that you please be patient as we work through these submissions; our editorial department is small (but mighty!) and works hard to make sure every submission is thoughtfully considered on top of their existing workload. We are all trying our best, and appreciate your understanding.

Submissions will be open until end of day on December 31 OR we hit the submission cap—whichever comes first. If you don't make it into this submission period, keep an eye out for when we open them again!
