#Publishers accepting unsolicited manuscripts 2018 free#

Please do bear with us.Īt The O'Brien Press, we are very conscious of the environment and recycle as much paper as we possibly can. As the number of unsolicited manuscripts requiring review by our editorial team can be quite high, sometimes this process can take longer.

Please allow a minimum of 8/10 weeks response time. Please send submissions to Submissions Department, The O'Brien Press, 12 Terenure Road East, Rathgar, Dublin 6, Ireland. We will only accept submissions/proposals/artwork etc, via the post. For anything in excess of this length - for example a children's novel - a synopsis and 2 or 3 sample chapters is more than adequate. Please number all the pages of your submission appropriately. Should your submission be 1000 words or less then you may submit your work in its entirety. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, O'Brien Press is not in a position to offer critiques of any unsolicited manuscripts we receive. Note also that stamps from countries other than Ireland are of no use to us!

As such, please do not send us any original work, illustrations etc. We generally do not publish poetry, academic works or adult fiction.ĭue to the high level of submissions we receive, unsolicited manuscripts will not be returned. We publish mainly children's fiction, children's non-fiction and adult non-fiction. We are committed to new and developing talent, and encourage any aspiring authors to send their writing in to us. Thank you for considering sending your manuscript to The O'Brien Press. Good luck! O'Brien Press - Submission Guidelines The Little Island guidelines are particularly useful.
