Call for Fiction Manuscripts

The West Virginia University Press invites the submission of proposals for book-length fiction manuscripts from new, emerging, and established authors. Special consideration will be given to works centering on or connected to the Appalachian region of North America. We are open to different styles and genres of writing.

At this time we are not accepting proposals for historical fiction, children's fiction, and novellas.

Publish with WVU Press

Authors who would like West Virginia University Press to consider their work for publication should contact us by mail with a proposal.

Preparing a Book Proposal

Initially, we prefer to receive a book prospectus rather than a full manuscript. Please remember that we do not accept unsolicited submissions via e-mail.
