Submissions

Our submissions are open 24/7, 365 days a year.

If you think you have written a book that may fit with Luath’s publishing programme, and would like to make a submission to us, please send:

• A clear synopsis of up to 250 words

• Which genre you would categorise it as (use our website categories as a guide)

• Sample chapters or  entire manuscript

• A short biography

• A pre-paid addressed envelope large enough for your sample chapters or manuscript to be returned in, should it be unsuccessful.

Please note that we cannot accept electronic submissions, only paper hard copies. Submissions or proposals sent by email will not be considered. However, please do get in contact with us if you cannot send a physical manuscript due to accessibility issues. 

If you do not enclose a pre-paid envelope, we will assume that you are happy for us to recycle your manuscript. You will still receive a letter notifying you of our decision. Do not send original copies or artwork. Luath Press cannot take responsibility for any items sent to us. We do aim to respond to everyone who submits a piece of work in due course. We do not provide individual feedback and we do not provide updates on your submission.

What are we looking for?

Have a look at the books we have already published. Does your title seem like something we would be interested in? Or, is it a genre we have not published? We publish across multiple genres, so make sure to do your research on your route to submitting to us. 

Don’t limit yourself. Break the mould where appropriate. If you think that we should see your book, submit to us, we would love to see it.
