So if you submit to Snowbooks, you'll need to have a strong pitch and a bucketful of confidence in both yourself and your book. They are looking for authors who stand out. This manuscript must be in a good state (if you're wondering if your manuscript holds up, why not send your book - or a sample of it - to me for a manuscript assessment?) and over 70K words (although preferably over 80,000). To submit to them, you must send an email (do not send them a hard copy, they'll get annoyed at the waste of resources) with a finished version of your manuscript. They accept, like most on this list, fantasy and science fiction (okay, well, duh!) and horror, and are pretty strict about it. Now, Snowbooks looks incredibly fun as a publisher, and a traditional one at that. You also need to tell them if you've submitted your manuscript elsewhere. You should send along a 'writer's CV with a summary of previous publications/awards, recognition of your work by institutions or other parties.' Your name and email must be on the manuscript itself. The synopsis must be 3 paragraphs max (for an overview of what a synopsis is and how to write one, see this blog post). They accept unsolicited, unagented submissions via email to their submissions email. If you've already had previous work published via magazines, websites or other online publications, you'll have an advantage so it's worth mentioning in your submission. Okay, so I'm going to relay some of the more important submissions info in bullet point form here: They occasionally accept short story submissions for specific anthologies which they announce on their social media pages and website. They prefer their novels to be within the 70,000-120,000 word count range, and do not accept previously published books. Previously self-published manuscripts that fit these requirements are also accepted, but all rights must be given to the publisher if they decide to publish the book.įor more details on the specifics of how you should submit your manuscript, see their submissions page.įlame Tree Publishing is not only a sci-fi and fantasy publisher interested in sci-fi and fantasy submissions, they also accept horror, supernatural, crime and mystery novels. In the adult age category (so no children's or YA fiction) Jo Fletcher Books are currently accepting unsolicited submissions for fantasy, science fiction and horror. The next on our list of science fiction and fantasy publishers accepting submissions is Jo Fletcher Books, an incredibly respected UK publisher. LunaPress are also accepting collections of short stories or collections for the Harvester Series of between 50,000 - 85,000 words.

If you have a standalone novel (50,000 words or more) that comes under the SFF umbrella, Luna Press may just be the publisher for you. This will be from the 16 - 18 June, 2023, UK time. For now, they have announced one submissions window for 2023 for SFF novels and collections. Okay, I'll stop blathering and get to it.īased in Edinburgh, Luna Press publish different types of speculative fiction and open their submissions up at very specific times of the year. If you're here from the future (hello if you are!) I unfortunately can't guarantee that all of these publishers are still accepting submissions. Note: All information contained in this post is correct as of January 2023. If you've got a science fiction or fantasy work in progress (WIP) or a manuscript that's ready and raring to go, this list will be a mix of publishers who are, for the most part, accepting unagented submissions now (in January 2023, at least) or later on in the year. It’s 2023, and I’m back with another list of science fiction and fantasy publishers accepting manuscript submissions.
