Submissions

UPDATE: SUBMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED.

We are happy to consider submissions from authors and/or agents, but please send them by email to submissions@orendabooks.co.uk. Please send a one-page synopsis plus the full MS, if available. If this isn’t possible, we are prepared to accept a three-chapter (or equivalent) sample. Please send all documents as Word or pdf attachments.

Please also note that we DO NOT publish NON-FICTION, SCREENPLAYS, CHILDREN’S BOOKS or YA. We ONLY publish literary fiction and upmarket genre fiction (with a heavy emphasis on the latter and, in particular, crime fiction), and we are always looking for new authors who would like to grow with our exciting company. We are also happy to look at authors who have been under-published in the past, and have something special to offer the list and team. Bear in mind that our list is very small, so we’d love to know why you think your book would be a perfect fit for Orenda Books. Don’t hesitate to tell us a bit about yourself, too.

Please note that it can take at least twelve weeks before we will get to your book, but we will always come back to you. Please be patient.
