Submissions

• Begin by reading our online list by visiting our online bookshop.
• Please don't send a complete script in the first instance. We like to see a short outline and some sample material - one or two chapters if it's prose, or about ten poems if it's poetry. If we're interested, we'll ask to see more material
• Include a short covering letter giving us relevant information about you as a writer - have you been published before? have you won any writing prizes? do you have a particular expertise in your subject? etc.
• Your material should be presented on A4 paper, typed or (preferably) word-processed on one side with double spacing.
• Please don't send a disk with your material at this stage, and please don't submit material via fax or email.
• Enclose a self-addressed envelope - large enough to contain your material, and with adequate return postage.
• Don't forget to include your name and address on the first page of your material and on your covering letter.
• We're always on the look-out for good new writing, but please bear in mind that we receive many hundreds of submissions annually, and it can take us quite a long time to reach a decision.

Good luck!
