writingrailroad: ground-zoro: Saw this on Facebook, but I have greater reach hear I fact-checked this and it looks totally legit! Brittany Lavery is an associate editor at Graydon House (here is a link to the Twitter thread where she answers a lot of questions). Here are some key takeaways: They only publish Adult Fiction (no YA, middle-grade, or children’s) Inkyard Press, their sister imprint, is going to be doing a similar open call in August for YA novels across all genres (link to Twitter thread) No sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or nonfiction It DOES include queer lit! Romance/romantic women’s fiction can be sent to HQN Imprint who are doing a similar open call (link to Twitter thread), but the editors acquire manuscripts for both imprints and will make sure it gets to the right place They are open to international Black writers + Black writers of any gender While they will only make an offer for completed manuscripts, they still look at unfinished manuscripts and may request to see more material According to Melanie Fried, editor at Graydon House, here’s what’s hot right now: Make sure you get your manuscripts in, and tell your Black author friends!!! I’d love to know who all’s submitting!!! -- source link
