Submissions will open
May 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023!
We would love to ready your middle grade or young adult novel,
your collection of stories, or … surprise us!
We are a small press with a very small crew, so we love finished manuscripts that have been well-worked and revised. We find that the best manuscripts come from writers who have spent time in community with other writers in group critique or with outside editors.
We love literary fiction or narrative nonfiction in the form of a novel, a memoir, or a collection (short stories, essays, or hybrid).
When submissions open, please send us a query letter, a short synopsis, and the first 50 pages of your manuscript.
Include in your query letter:
- Contact information
- Website, if you have one, and any social media links
- Title of your book
- Genre and word count
- Why you chose to submit to Hidden Timber Books
