SUBMISSIONS
We’ll be taking a sabbatical in 2026 from our usual October submission window to give ourselves the space to catch up and devote time to nurturing our upcoming titles and our 2027 list.
We may open small submission windows or run competitions along the way, and if we do, we’ll share the details here and on our social channels.
