Long Day Press is accepting submissions from September 1st – October 31st in the following categories:
Novella – Fiction – Up to 80,000 words
Chapbook – Fiction, Creative NonFiction, Hybrid collections – Up to 80,000 words
There is no submission fee (though we strongly encourage you to purchase one of our books so you are familiar with the type of work we publish). The work as a whole must have not been published before. We love translations, so send them our way as long as you have the author’s blessing. A standard, 12-point serif font and double-spacing is preferred.
Don’t feel constrained by form. If your submission is an album, or a film, or a series of billboards, send it our way.
Submit your manuscript via our submission form.
We’re working on a new project for shorter works. Until then, check out our books and journals and connect with us on Twitter and Instagram for updates.
