Submissions

Our reading period is November 1 to March 1.

While we seek to publish new voices missing from the literary world, we also want to make sure your manuscript will fit our genre community.

The books we choose to publish are intellectually stimulating, adding relevant knowledge to the readers’ minds.

Our Junior Readers and Kids imprints focus on literature and picture books with educational twists, exciting illustrations and plots, and possibilities for ancillary products and more series.

Genres we are focusing on include:

Children’s Fiction
   - Middle-grade Fiction
   - Education Fiction
   - Picture Books
Women’s Literary Fiction
Autobiographical Fiction (Metafiction)
Creative Nonfiction

We do not publish compilations, short stories, or poetry.

With your cover letter, please send us a synopsis of your book and one or two chapters, no more than 30 pages. We accept both agented and unagented manuscripts. Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) with any hard copy submissions to receive our response.*

You may send your submission to:
Editor
Scarletta Press
10 South 5th Street, Suite 1105
Minneapolis, MN 55402

or email us an attachment at info@scarlettapress.com.

*Please note that due to the number of submissions we receive, we do not have the ability to notify authors of having received their submissions. While we understand that you may be anxiously awaiting a response to your submission, we ask that you do not send your manuscript more than once or send multiple inquiries about your submission’s status. Thank you!
