If you’re not sure what constitutes speculative fiction, or want to increase the chances that we’ll love your submission, please read our general guidelines. You might also want to check out this essay and our series of blog posts aimed at helping writers fix story problems.
We're excited to be embarking on a new venture with Third Person Press. Get those novels ready!
Will you require that a submitted manuscript be completely unseen, or are self-published POD novels be valid?
