Submissions

 

Submissions are currently closed. Our annual reading period is November to March, and we do not accept unsolicited manuscripts outside of those dates.

 

GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

 

Be sure to follow the specific guidelines for each submission call.

 

There must be no identifying information for the author anywhere on the manuscript, including in the file name or submission title. Manuscripts containing identifying information in any way will be automatically disqualified and any submission fee forfeited.

 

The manuscript in its entirety must be previously unpublished, though it may contain previously published portions. It should contain a majority of new work. Please acknowledge any portions of the manuscript that have been previously published in your cover letter, not within the manuscript itself. Manuscripts that contain acknowledgements will be disqualified.

 

All material in manuscripts must be of the author’s own composition and free from copyright restrictions. We do not accept submissions generated by AI tools or language models.

 

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but authors must notify us immediately if their work is accepted elsewhere and withdraw it through our submission manager.

 

Manuscripts should be submitted as a .doc or. docx file in a 12-point standard font such as Times New Roman or Georgia, double-spaced, have margins of at least 1 inch, and be paginated. Please include a title page with a total word count and a table of contents, as applicable.

​

Include a cover letter in the appropriate field in the submission manager (not within the manuscript file itself).

 

In your cover letter, please provide the following information:

 

• Your contact information (address, phone, email)
• The manuscript’s title, genre, and word count
• List of credits for any previously published portions
• A brief synopsis of the work
• A brief biography with publishing history, if applicable; include your website address and social media handles
• Indication if the manuscript is submitted simultaneously and pledge to withdraw it if accepted elsewhere
• Where you heard about the call for submissions
• We welcome brief comments on how you see your book in terms of expanding our catalog

 

Any submission that doesn’t follow the guidelines will be disqualified.

SELECTION PROCESS: 

​

Turiya Press conducts reviews during which authors and reader-reviewers are kept anonymous. Multiple reviewers read each manuscript. They are anonymous to one other and unable to read any other reviews. 

 

Submissions cannot be edited once they are submitted. Manuscripts selected for publication will go through an editing process with the editors.

​

Turiya Press does not offer editorial comments on submissions. Editorial relationships with authors are developed once they have signed a contract. Every book accepted for publication receives careful, thorough, and sensitive editing, and necessitates the author’s collaboration and commitment to the process.

 

Turiya Press responds to every submission it receives at the email address furnished with the submission. It can take time, so please be patient.

 

Thank you for considering Turiya Press. We look forward to reading your work.
