Press Submission Guidelines:
We do not accept unsolicited
novel or short story collection manuscripts. Queries are welcome.
Please send queries with an SASE by mail to the address below. We
publish 3-6 books per year. Please be familiar with our books
first to avoid wasting your time and ours, thank you.
Lady Churchill's
Rosebud Wristlet
We do not accept email, multiple,
or simultaneous submissions. Response time is three to six months.
We recommend you read Lady
Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet before submitting. You can procure
a copy from us or from assorted book shops.
We accept fiction, non-fiction,
poetry, and black and white art*. The fiction we publish most of
tends toward but is not limited to the speculative. This does not
mean only quietly desperate stories. We will consider items that
fall out with regular categories. We do not publish gore, sword
and sorcery or pornography. We can discuss these terms if you like.
There are places for them all, this is not one of them.
We recommend at least one rewrite
for both our sanities.
Please follow standard ms format:
12pt Courier, double-spaced, numbered pages, &c. and an SASE
for our reply.
We buy first North American
rights and occasionally reprints (which we solicit). We do not buy
electronic rights, although we might in future times. We do not
pay much. Neither do we publish often. The paper edition of LCRW
comes out twice yearly, the web version with a few bits from the
paper and a few other things sometimes, well, you know. This website,
although we publish on it, is not a paying market.
Thank you.

* Original black and white art
should not be sent unless it is disposable. Do not send color (or
colour) art unless you are sending enough money with it for us to
print a color cover. Jpeg files and anything readable by Photoshop
should work. I use the word 'should' advisably.
