My Manuscript Wish List®
I’m the publisher of Everywhen Press. I wear many hats for the press including editing and managing the editorial process, marketing and sales, and publicity. I am the main point of contact.
I am looking for manuscripts in low fantasy, folklore/myths/legends, and fairy tales seeded with culture. Stories need to have robust characters who are easily relatable and with a setting that is clearly defined and functions as a character in its own right.
The stories should lend well to an illuminated aesthetic or be well supported by your art.
I am also drawn to stories with strong humanistic and natural themes focusing on hopeful what-ifs, and I am drawn to non-romanticized romance–a strong bond and emotional connection without romantic feelings, friendly love experienced through camaraderie.
Settings do not need to be modern, but I would love to see a solarpunk setting.
I am not seeking these types of manuscripts:
- Romance (and sub-genres)
- Erotica
- Plot-driven LGBTQ+ (characterization is fine)
- Non-fiction
- War
Fun facts about me:
- If I could be anything, I would be a pirate sailing on the high seas during the 1600s/1700s but with modern conveniences.
- I am a a fan of serial comics. I use WebToons, Manta, and other apps.
- I enjoy anime, but I really don’t watch TV.
- I am an avid collector of art and medieval manuscript pages. Art auctions are a major weakness for me.
- I enjoy gardening even though I don’t have a green thumb. I also have a serious phobia of bees and wasps.
Submissions should be emailed to info@everywhenpress.com
