Publish with Room9
Have a manuscript? We'd love to read it.
Room9 Publications welcomes fiction, poetry and anthologies from new and established writers alike. Email us your completed manuscript, and our editorial team will read it in full before we make a decision.
What we look for
A book that surprises us, start to finish
We do not sign off on a synopsis. Every decision starts with reading the whole manuscript.
A voice, not a formula
Something that feels distinctly the author's own, in fiction, poetry or an anthology.
A complete manuscript
Send the finished book, not a pitch. A sample chapter or outline cannot tell us what the whole story can.
Craft, over category
We are open to new and established writers alike, and to individual authors as well as edited collections.
A story we cannot put down
If it holds our attention as readers first, we will want to talk to you about it.
