Submissions

Melanie Ostell Literary is now open for submissions until 20 December 2024. If you’re keen to share your work, please do so here. Please do NOT email directly re queries.

If you’re writing fiction, please don’t submit sample pages until the full mss is ready and had multiple drafts. Query Manager will walk you through what to send, but please ensure your submission has your full name, email and phone number, bio with works published and writing experience, synopsis, draft number, word count and genre, and whether or not this is a multiple submission. And do refer to the home page listing on what we’re looking for.

And before you press send, perhaps take a listen to this interview on The Garrett podcast, posted May 2022. It may be helpful.
