Submissions


Dear Writers:

Soho Press primarily publishes fiction, with the occasional autobiography or cultural historical account. Completed manuscripts should be 60,000 words or more. While many of our published works arrive here through agents, we place a high priority on publishing quality unsolicited materials from new writers.

Though eager to accept a wide range of literary fiction, we are generally unenthusiastic about publishing formula fiction, young adult dramas, stock romances, juvenile literature, short story collections, cookbooks, how-to books, self-help, fantasy, and anything that might recommend itself as a "quick read." Further, we do not consider electronic submissions.

A query letter accompanied by three chapters of a completed work (preferably the first three) and a brief outline of plot events should precede the submission of an entire manuscript. A cover letter listing previous publishing credits should be included with your work. We accept submissions year round. All materials may be sent to Soho Press at 853 Broadway, New York, NY 10003, care of Laura Hruska, editor-in-chief. Please accompany all submissions with postage and packing materials sufficient for their return.

Yours,

Katie Herman
Soho Press, Inc.
