To Submit:

 

Please send us an email to submissions@waywardwriters.com.

The submission process is super simple:

Send us the first 5 pages of your book.

We are a small press with a small staff, so we can unfortuately only respond to submissions that pique our interests. If yours is such a submission, we will reach out to request more materials or a full manuscript. All of us at Wayward Writers Press have been through the punishing process of putting our work out into the world, so we understand how difficult the submission proess can be. Hang in there. Keep writing. 

 

Damn the torpedos. Pee in the street.  Hurt the people.
