About

It’s that time of year when books are forged in the creative fires—something about the fall change inspires us. We want to see all that hard effort rewarded, and we warmly invite you to send us your favorite chapters from your novels! Roll up your sleeves, write relentlessly, and send us your best this December. We want the chapter that makes us ache for the rest of the book, that makes us desperate to spend more time in the world of your creation! We’re so excited to read your submissions and to discover all the wonderful books just waiting for their readers.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
