Submissions

Tell us about your book.

We are reading by invitation at the moment. This is not a queue with a promised response time — it is how we get to know work we may be able to publish once the list opens.

Before you write: it is worth reading how we publish. We run two very different lanes, and knowing which one you are hoping for makes the conversation shorter and more honest.

Your name

Working title

A placeholder is fine. Most titles change.

What kind of book is it?

Where is it?

Roughly how long?

Which lane are you hoping for?

“Not sure” is a perfectly good answer, and a common one.

Any connection to OBN?

Not required. We are simply opening the list from within the OBN family first.

Tell us about the book

What is it about, who is it for, and why are you the person to write it? A few honest paragraphs beat a polished pitch.

Please don't attach your manuscript yet — if we want to read it, we will ask.
