Submissions
The Linen Press welcomes submissions from emergent and established writers. We will consider manuscripts that are experimental and imaginative in content and form. We take on only a limited number of projects at any time; the advantage of this for writers is that we work closely with you from the initial idea through to the finished book.
Please send in a one page synopsis and the first three chapters or about 2,500 words. The synopsis should offer a clear, brief over-view of the work which draws our attention to the key themes, your writing strengths, and the originality of your ideas. We are happy to discuss a work in progress but obviously the more fully worked out your submission, the more easily we can judge whether it is right for us. Please include a covering letter, a writing CV, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you want your manuscript returned. Alternatively we can recycle the paper.
We read every manuscript that comes in. Any promising submissions will be sent out to two readers for further feedback. We will try to give you a decision within two months.
We are happy to receive manuscripts by post or email, but please send a synopsis and the first few chapters first.
