Interested? Inspired? Hungry? Homeless? Send us your resume, a brief bio, and a sample of your best writing! (Preferably fiction, not necessarily age-specific.) Please send your sample in the body of your email (no attachments), and please limit your selection to 10 pages (2,000-3,000 words)—we do have busy lives of our own. Please include YOUR NAME AND SAMPLE “TITLE” in the SUBJECT HEADING.

We aim to respond within 8 weeks to all submissions. If we think you might be right to sample for one of our current or upcoming sparks, we'll let you know. If not, well, even J.K. Rowling had her fair share of rejections…

You must not have any work currently under contract with any book publishing house. You must be 18 or older to submit.

If you have included questions in your email, we will do our best to respond to them, but please see our FAQ page first.

Good luck, and we can’t wait to hear from you!
