Submission Requirements:
Finished manuscripts only.

We do accept simultaneous submissions.
We accept submissions directly from the author or from an agent.
We answer every query and submission. If you do not hear back from us within one month, we most likely did not receive your query. Please feel free to check back with us.

Any query for genres not listed above will be deleted immediately. Please do not submit if your book does not fall within those genres. You may email queries to: arcaneshadowspress@gmail.com
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I submit to you if my novel has been previously published?
Yes, if you have had your full rights reverted back to you or have retained your rights, you may submit to us.
2. If I don’t have an agent, can I still submit?
Absolutely! We welcome submissions from both agented and un-agented authors.
3. Do you work with authors not based in the U.S.?
We welcome authors from other countries. Just make sure that your manuscript is edited for U.S. English. (Slang, of course, depends on your story.)
