We are always accepting submissions. Please keep in mind we are a small press and as such it may take as much as six to eight weeks for us to respond. We offer a modest advance of up $300 for manuscripts we accept. As we grow we will publish more books per quarter, and our advance will grow with it. As of now we are only publishing one or two per quarter. If your story is exploitative it’s going to be a hard pass.
We are especially interested in stories by and about under represented minorities, LGBTQIA+ characters or authors, stories written by and about women, stories by and about neurodivergent people. We will consider all genres but at this time are most interested in Young Adult and Adult science fiction and fantasy, horror, and romance.
Please make sure your manuscript is in standard format. If you’re unfamiliar with it check it out here.
Send the following to talent@spinningmonkeypress.com
The first three chapters in pdf or word (preferred) format attached to the email. We don’t need a query letter. Just write a little about yourself and your work in the body of the email. We will respond as quickly as we can. If we are unable to publish you we may suggest other small presses which will be a better fit for you.
