Publishing Submissions Guidelines

We are proud to run an open submissions policy for authors looking to publish with us but as a result we get a huge amount of enquiries. It’s important for us to take the time to read through everything and give it fair consideration, and so our submissions inbox is currently closed while we catch-up with our reading. When our submissions are open again, you will find our submissions guidelines on this page.
