Manuscript submissions

Writers should review the Press's submission guidelines carefully, noting that they accept proposals for scholarly works and complete manuscripts for the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry. For the poetry prize, submissions are typically accepted between May 1 and June 30 each year, with a reading fee. The Press favors manuscripts that demonstrate originality, scholarly rigor, and a clear sense of audience. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with their catalog to ensure your work aligns with their editorial focus. Unsolicited manuscripts outside of designated reading periods are generally not accepted, so adherence to posted deadlines is crucial.
