My Manuscript Wish List®

Fun facts about me:

I’m a novelist and a university professor in my abundant free time. I wrote for women’s magazines for many years and once rode an elevator with JFK Jr. when he was publishing George.

Submission Guidelines

Wildhouse Fiction is a new imprint of Wildhouse Publishing, a small Boston-based publisher. Have you run into a brick wall with the Big Five? Send your work to us! We are looking for stories with a spiritual bent, but within those (very loose) guidelines what we want most is the next great book that will launch our press with a bang. We have a royalty structure that competes with the big guys and a full-time publicist, along with the marketing and distribution structure to get your book onto actual bookstore shelves.

Novels are preferrable, but we will consider story collections if they’re wildly original.

From September 1 – October 1, 2024 we will only be accepting fiction submissions for our Fiction Contest, judged by Rebecca Makkai. See guidelines at www.wildhousepublishing.com/wifi. Our open submission period is January 1 – February 1 each year. Please use our Submittable page (https://whp.submittable.com/submit) for all submissions .
