Submissions
Submissions are currently closed
Our Fall submissions window (September 15–November 15) is now closed. We review a limited number of projects each season and expect to open again for a future window. If you would like to be among the first to know when we are reading again, join our notification list below.
Genres we are most focused on
If you are considering submitting in a future window, these are the areas where we are actively building long-running, commercial series.
What we offer our authors
- Professional editing, cover design, formatting, and metadata optimization.
- Ebook, print, and audio publishing with established distribution.
- Data-driven positioning, series planning, and paid ads support tuned for Amazon success.
What we are looking for
- Authors who can publish 2 books per year (we will consider 1 book per year for the right project).
- Series-friendly fiction with at least two books planned and room to grow.
- Strong hooks, clear reader promise, and potential to build into a long-running series.
How our submission seasons work
- We open for submissions for a limited window and aim to sign a small number of new authors each season.
- We consider both agented and unagented fiction authors. Simultaneous submissions are fine.
- We use these windows to focus our team’s attention on a carefully curated set of projects.
- If you join the notification list, we will email you when we announce our next submission dates and when the form goes live.
We are unable to consider new projects outside of our open submission windows. The best way to be read by Severn River Publishing is to join the notification list below and submit as soon as the next window opens.
