Submit your manuscript.

We are looking for finished manuscripts with a clear audience, a confident voice, and enough spark to survive a long editorial conversation.

What we are looking for

Send us stories with teeth, heart, or a gloriously strange premise.

We are building toward a catalogue with personality. If your book has a clear reader, a strong hook, and a little electricity in the pages, we want to see it.
