Updated June 10, 2008:

Due to a large influx of manuscripts, we have closed the submission window for fiction and poetry until futher notice.

We are seeking nonfiction titles

UPDATE: Ghost Road Press is looking only for provocative nonfiction at this time. Possible themes include progressive politics, self-help and history, as well as literary memoir. Please send a query to matt@ghostroadpress.com. Include an attachment (word or .rtf only) that includes a complete synopsis, a description of your marketing plan and platform, and the first three chapters.

General information about submissions

What we're looking for:

Socially relevant, provocative fiction.
Nonfiction/Memoir that tells a story and provides historical context.

We do not publish genre fiction. We encourage you to explore the books we have already published to see if your book might be a good fit with our catalog.

We read prose manuscripts from January to July, or until our publication slots have been filled for the upcoming 18 months.

It's okay to include all the pieces of your submission in one document. Please do not paste your submission into an email.

If we are interested in reading more, you'll hear from us.

We are not reading new poetry manuscripts until further notice.

It typically takes between three to eight months. Simultaneous submissions are okay. If you get accepted elsewhere, simply send us an email notification, and accept our hearty "Congratulations!"
