Submissions

Owing to the enormous demand from writers seeking to send us work, as well as to our limited resources, Starcherone Books has developed this method for reading manuscripts for potential publication with us:


1. During the late summer / early fall each year, after our contest has concluded, we have an OPEN CONSIDERATION PERIOD of approximately six weeks. During this time, we read queries from authors who already have established their credentials in some way, generally through prior publication, awards, and the like. We ask for queries from writers describing their projects and their writing credentials. From these, we invite submissions. Our current period for receiving queries is from AUGUST 18 to SEPTEMBER 30, 2010.


2. In October of each year, we begin our ANNUAL CONTEST. This coming year, our contest will have a deadline of February 15, 2011. The final judge is to be announced. See rules for our most recent contest here: http://www.starcherone.com/prize.htm

Please keep in mind the Starcherone Books is a nonprofit press whose mission is to publish innovative fiction, and that we are not interested in mainstream realism or standard genre writing. For questions about what we are interested in publishing, read our books!
