Split/Lip Press

Manuscript submissions

Writers should familiarize themselves with Split/Lip Press's catalog to understand its aesthetic preferences, which lean toward hybrid, experimental, and speculative works. Submissions are typically open during specific reading periods announced on the press's website and social media. Prepare a polished manuscript that demonstrates originality in form or concept, and include a brief cover letter that articulates how your work aligns with the press's mission. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify the press promptly if your manuscript is accepted elsewhere. Given the press's small size, response times may be longer than average, so patience is advised. Above all, ensure your submission is free of grammatical errors and follows the stated guidelines to make a strong impression.
