Publishing and packaging
EnvelopeBooks is a cool, old-fashioned generalist publisher, and we’re constantly on the lookout for new manuscripts—but they have to be good. Unlike many small independents, we’re very selective. We only take writing that’s ambitious and that impresses us. Inevitably, most of what is offered to us (and we get a lot) doesn’t make the cut. That’s the downside.
The upside is that we welcome submissions, whether fiction or non-fiction, from all over the world, and we process submissions very quickly. Also, we don’t ask you to send us rafts of supporting paperwork. We don’t need biographies or explanations about why you wanted to become a writer or whether you edited your high-school magazine. Just send us the goddam manuscript—because that’s all that counts.
To submit a manuscript for our consideration, please enter your details here. After reviewing your submission, we’ll let you know whether we like what we see or recommend you taking it elsewhere.
Don’t put anything in the post. Just email us at editor@envelopebooks.co.uk: We always respond quickly. And after reviewing your submission, we’ll let you know whether we like what we see or recommend you taking it elsewhere.
