Got an unpublished science fiction, fantasy or horror novel? UK genre publisher Gollancz will be accepting un-agented submissions throughout January!
Starting January 4th (Monday!) through January 22nd, the publisher will be accepting novel submissions. Here’s the trick: you have to mail it in.
Here’s their criteria:
Submissions will be open 4th to 22th January 2016. Only submissions with valid postdates will be considered.
We will only be accepting PHYSICAL submissions.
We will only consider SF, Fantasy, Horror or YA Crossover novels. They must be complete and more than 80,000 words.
We will consider previously self-published works.
We will not consider works we have previously rejected.
We will not consider works sent in by agents, or by authors who already have representation – they can be submitted in the normal way.
We are not currently looking for short story collections or anthologies.
Please send:
The first 50 pages of your manuscript
A cover letter outlining the scope and concept of your work
A full synopsis (no more than 1 page, can be single spaced)
Format:
Double-spaced
Single or double-sided.
Please use standard fonts (comic-sans is liable to make our eyes bleed!)
