Hodderscape open submission

Back in March we announced that we'd be opening for submissions in August. Well, August is nearly upon us! So it's time for us to share our submission guidelines with you. Please read these carefully and remember that we absolutely will not read anything submitted to us before August 3rd. Good luck polishing your manuscript - we can't wait to get stuck in!

What we're looking for:

We publish a wonderful, exciting, diverse list of SFF here at Hodder - and we're always on the lookout for new talent.

Specifically, we are looking for novels (50,000 words or more) that contain some element of the speculative or fantastic. Simply put, we're looking for awesome science fiction, fantasy and horror novels.This open submissions period is a chance for unagented authors to get their manuscripts in front of us.

If you have an agent, please do not submit to us during this open submissions period. Ask your agent to send us your manuscript via the usual channels.

How to submit:

The submissions period will open at 12 am GMT on 3 August, 2015, and will close on 16 August, 2015, at 11.59 pm, GMT.

We will NOT read anything submitted outside this period.
During the submissions period, please send your submission with the subject line ‘submission - TITLE - your name' to hodderscape@hodder.co.uk

Please include only the following attachments:

• The first 3 chapters or the first 15,000 words of your novel, whichever you prefer.
