We are currently closed for novel submissions.
Please review the following guidelines closely.
If you've got a completed manuscript you think we'd be interested in, please send a query letter in the body of an email and your first 3 chapters as an attachment (in RTF format) to the address below. Please use proper manuscript formatting*. Don't forget to put the word QUERY and the title of your project in the subject field--we'd hate to accidentally delete your query as spam. If you prefer, you may send us a postal submission.
Keep in mind that we really do read each submission, and it takes time to give each writer their due attention, however, if you do not hear back from us within three months, feel free to follow up. And remember, whatever happens, keep writing. Keep believing.
Address queries to: CLOSED

All manuscripts submitted must contain an element of the speculative. As a genre, speculative fiction includes: science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, alternate history, magic realism, or any combination thereof--including stories that are difficult to define. We are not interested in horror, due to our low resistance to gore and all it entails, or historical fiction in the classic sense. We do not read submissions for screenplays, poetry, mysteries, thrillers, children's, chick lit, romance, erotica or nonfiction.
Meadowhawk Press is focused on speculative fiction that is intelligent and character driven. We want writing that appeals to adults, but is accessible to teens as well. We are looking for protagonists that are 17 years or older. Accessible to us means that while violence and sex may be part of the human condition, it does not have to be graphic or pornographic in the telling. We evaluate adult content based on what is crucial to plot or character arc, and edit accordingly.
