Wildhouse Publishing submissions open through January and February each year. Some years we create an additional submission window in September. We do not publish Gen-AI works, or Gen-AI-assisted works. Visit wildhousepublishing.com to understand the kind of books we seek.
The Wildhouse Fiction 2024 Contest goes live on Submittable.com on September 1, 2024. Check back then to submit. See https://wildhousepublishing.com/ for details.
Nonprofit indie press Wildhouse Publishing is pleased to announce the launch of a new fiction imprint aimed at publishing both early career and seasoned authors. We seek writing that engages readers' imagination for the sake of responsible and responsive living, evoking convergences that encourage authenticity, resilience, and justice. See https://wildhousepublishing.com/wifi/.
The 2024 fiction contest celebrates this launch. Judged by NYT Best Selling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Rebecca Makkai, the contest welcomes both novels and short story collections. The top submissions will be awarded the Wildhouse Fiction Prize (first place $1,000 with publication, two finalists $250 each).
Entries should be resonant with the Wildhouse Publishing commitment to "bring transformative spiritual insights to readers for whom traditional religious expressions may not fit." And they should be excellent stories!
