Narrative Landscape Press has officially opened its doors for manuscript submissions. The esteemed publisher is inviting writers from around the world to submit their manuscripts for consideration. The call is for fiction manuscripts only.
Narrative Landscape Press Limited was founded in 2016 by Anwuli Ojogwu and Eghosa Imasuen. The dream of the founders was to create a firm that could distill the essence of the publishing process and provide a service to other publishing houses and self-publishing authors within the Nigerian space. Narrative Landscape Press Limited believes that owning the means of production is essential to a vibrant publishing industry.
Authors interested in submitting their manuscripts to Narrative Landscape Press are encouraged to carefully review the submission guidelines to ensure their work aligns with the press’s mission and vision. The submission guidelines are as follows:
- Send your manuscript in an email with the subject heading “Submissions [title of your work]” to submissions@narrativelandscape.com
- The body of your email is your query letter. Introduce yourself, say why you’re contacting the publisher, and write a few words on why you are the best fit to write this work.
- Attach a one-page synopsis of the work you are submitting as a Word Document. Put all major plot points in your synopsis, including spoilers. You can also say a few words about the theme of the work.
- Attach a sample of the work in question as a Word Document attachment. This should be the first 3 chapters, or the first 50 pages, or the first 10,000 words, whichever is longer.
- Your writing sample should be traditionally formatted.
- Send your manuscript sample in double-spaced, indented no-space paragraphs, left-justified only, 12-point serif font (they prefer courier new) text on A4.
- Narrative Landscape Press ensures that all submissions are read. Due to a large number of submissions daily, they ask for eight weeks after each submission reading window to reply. They will respond to every submission they receive.
- Currently, they are not accepting unsolicited poetry, drama, or non-fiction submissions.
Submissions are open until March 31st.
We wish you best of luck in your submissions!
