Calls & opportunities
3 listedManuscript submissions
Before submitting, familiarize yourself with the press's catalogue to understand its aesthetic and conceptual range. They favor projects that engage the book as a medium—consider how text, image, and design interact. Submissions should include a concise proposal, a sample of the work (up to 10 pages), and a brief artist statement. They accept both completed manuscripts and works-in-progress, but prefer a clear vision for the final object. Response times can be slow due to the small team; patience is advised. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, but please notify them promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere.
We are actively interested in considering new manuscripts. Please a send a brief paragraph describing the book, and a five page excerpt, pasted into the body of the email. As a matter of policy, we do not open unsolicited attachments. Thank you!
