Proposal Requirements
We are happy to consider submissions from creators and literary agents via email, but materials submitted by any other means will not be considered. Please keep in mind that we receive a high volume of submissions and we do not answer unsolicited emails regarding submissions.
Before submitting a proposal, please familiarize yourself with the types of work we publish and consider whether your work would be a good fit for us.
1. Projects must be under 150,000 words.
2. Authors may only make submissions for works they have completed.
3. Authors may not make submissions that have used AI in their creation, whether in the outlining or writing of the manuscript.
4. Submissions must include a 1-page synopsis, the first 10 pages of the manuscript, an author bio, and a query letter with links to social media platforms, if applicable, and any other information you wish the editors to consider.
A query letter is an introductory one-page letter that tells an editor something about the story, something about the writer, and why Wæward Press should publish the book.
We will do our best to respond to all submissions as soon as we can. Due to volume, we cannot respond to follow up queries. We will reach out to the email address provided should we have any questions or need more information. We appreciate your patience.
