Submission Guidelines

Pause on General Submissions

Unfortunately, after 5 years and many books that have come to us by this method, we will now suspend our general submissions via email for the foreseeable future, though they may reopen at some point. We’ve received a huge uptick in submissions in the past 6 months, most of which are completely beyond our capacity to give full consideration. We would encourage those of you who have submitted via this method in the past few months to consider resubmitting your MS to the Novel Prize, where we can guarantee it will be given proper consideration. Details can be found here:

Hyperidean Press is run by volunteers. Unfortunately, we are unable to acknowledge receipt of work. If you haven’t heard back from us within 12 weeks, please assume that your work is not a suitable fit with our press. You can direct submission enquiries to any of the individual editors.

Finally, we firmly believe that the best way to communicate what we’re looking for is to give an idea of what we like to read. We’ve compiled a list of books that we believe to be most representative of our varied tastes:
