We are open for submissions.
Please take a moment look at the wish lists of our editors here and more information about us here.
At the current time, we are not the best publisher for children's books, middle grade novels,
non-fiction, or poetry. We would however like to see all of your
#OwnVoices, LGBT+, or otherwise diverse fiction.
When you are ready, please email your query letter along with:
the first fifty pages (12 pt font, double spaced), and
a one page synopsis (12 pt font, single spaced)
both attached as separate Microsoft Word files to:
senioreditor@swordandsilkbooks.com
Please be sure to type your email subject as:
SUBMISSION: [Title] - [Age Group] [Genre]
Once you submit you should hear from one of us within four weeks.
If we then request more material, it may take as long as eight weeks for a final decision.
Queries that do not meet these requirements may not be viewed.
