Are you working on the next greatest novel?

Check out our submission requirements below.

New Forest Press is open to submissions year round. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with submission requirements below in order to ensure it is received by our acquisitions team.

Please keep in mind that we cannot open links to submissions—whether that is iCloud, DropBox, Google Drive, or another format—so please send all materials as Word documents or PDFs. If you send a link to an external page, we will not be able to assess your work. Under no circumstances will New Forest Press consider any submission for a book generated by AI. Any submissions that include AI generated assets will be automatically rejected.

Please send your mansucript to submissions@newforestpress.com. We aspire to review all submissions within four weeks.

Submission Guidelines

New Forest Press is committed to publishing high-quality fiction titles that blend actual magic, witchcraft, folklore, and mythology into the stories. We aim to uplift emerging and well-established authors alike, with a particular fondness for under-represented writers. All submissions must be strongly rooted in real magical practices and/or folklore to be considered. 

An agent is not necessary to submit to New Forest Press, and we’ll gladly consider both completed manuscripts and proposals. Whether this is your first book or your thirty-first, we are excited to engage with your work.

If you have completed a manuscript, please attach it as a Word document or PDF to your email. If you are submitting a proposal, please send us a synopsis of the book, elevator pitch, and a two sample chapters, along with your anticipated word count. Manuscripts should be set in a double-spaced 12-point font with 1” margins.

If you are including images, they should be at least 300 dpi. PDF and PNG files are preferred, but high resolution JPGs are also acceptable. Please note approximately how many images you anticipate having in the manuscript and if images are to be sourced by you, provided by us, or public domain/fair use.
