We are always accepting submissions across all genres. However, your work must meet specific criteria. The writer must hold all rights to the work, and we do not allow public domain works. We welcome authors with or without agent representation, and we value the extraordinary work agents do.
Our submission policy has changed, we only accept electronic submissions. You can send sample chapters by email to submissions@arrowgatepublishing.com.
Alternatively, you can use the form below to tell us a little about yourself and your work. Include your website and links to your works if you are self-published, the word count, and the crucial idea behind the story. We will reply within six weeks whether we would like more information on your work or not.
- Please keep backup copies of your work if you are sending electronic submissions.
- keep a copy of your work as we cannot return work or enter any correspondence about it.
- If you haven’t heard from us within ten weeks, then we regret to say your submission has been unsuccessful for a traditional, mainstream contract.
- We treat all materials sent to Arrow Gate Publishing as confidential.
