The North Literary Agency

  Full details  ABOUT US The North was founded in October 2017 by a group of agents with decades of experience in the book world: not only as agents, but as booksellers and publishers – and even a writer. We’re a small agency, but we think our list of best-sellers and award winners shows that we punch above our weight. In a business dominated by large London publishers and agencies, we’re proud to be one of very few literary agencies based in the north; though our reach is global, with writers published in more than 30 territories around the world. SUBMIT We are always on the lookout for new talent. So, whatever your experience – including none at all – if you’re writing and seeking representation, then please Hit the North by going to our submissions page.    

Orphans Publishing

 Full details  Our ethos is that we publish stories – about people, about places, about experiences. We love books that seek to inspire and inform, that are warm-hearted and generous. We love non-fiction with a strong hook, stories inspired by real people or places. We don’t publish poetry, science fiction, fantasy, horror, erotica or violent themes. If you still think you have a book or idea we might be interested in, read on! We have an open submissions policy, so you do not need an agent to pitch your work to us, and we do not specialise in any subject area – we believe that variety is the spice of life. However, please note that we publish more non-fiction than fiction. Before you submit anything to us, please take a good look around our website and the books we have published. Please send us a short letter introducing yourself and a one-page synopsis of your book, either by email or by post. Don’t send us any more material (e.g. samples of your writing) until we’ve express

Fire Escape Plays

  Full details  CALL FOR FIRE ESCAPE PLAYS New Jersey Repertory Company, located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch, ended its season, and closed its doors on March 13 as a consequence of the corona virus pandemic. Like most theaters across the country the date of resumption of productions is uncertain at this time and is dependent on how public spaces reopen and how local, state, and Federal regulations and guidelines evolve. As part of its current strategy, NJ Rep plans on resuming its main stage season next Spring with the understanding that flexibility is necessary and that the ever-changing impact of the pandemic will ultimately dictate whether this projected opening is accelerated or delayed further. The theater, however, is in a unique position because its buildings at its West End Arts Center, at 132 West End Avenue, have fire escapes that offer the opportunity for innovative thinking and the possibility of presenting plays outdoor

Absinthe Books

 Full details  PS SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES We at PS Publishing are very supportive of new talent, after all, everyone has to start somewhere. You may have had a glance at our catalogue of books over the last 20 years or so and seen that we have published a fair few ‘newbies’ amongst the more established writers and quite a few big hitters too. We can’t promise that we will read every submission that lands on our lap. There aren’t enough hours in the day. Very few publishers have the resources to do that and most won’t even entertain unsolicited manuscripts. So, think about the points we have made, especially with regard to an agent. After all, you owe it to yourself to give your 'baby' the very best start in life. “Fail to prepare and you prepare to fail” —Benjamin Franklin Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed path to getting published. In fact, the odds are quite heavily stacked against you. You may have slaved many hours pouring you heart and soul

Mistake House

 Full details  Mistake House Submission Guidelines Mistake House Magazine welcomes fiction and poetry by writers currently enrolled in graduate and undergraduate programs from around the world, including work by previously unpublished writers.   Editorial Mission Last year Mistake House Magazine rolled out a new tag line: a space between ordinary and odd. We couldn’t have imagined a more peculiar space than 2020, a year in which the “ordinary” became the “odd” space of global lockdowns and sheltering in place, economic disruption and increasing economic disparity, global cultural divisiveness and political polarization, a deepening climate crisis, and the urgent need for inclusivity and equity.   While 2020 kept slamming people with hardship and troubling news, the problems it presented already existed; and as the world emerges from 2020 into the unknowable future, writers will join others in understanding and addressing these problems.  This has been a year that asks
