Submissions
WE ARE CURRENTLY OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS: PUBLISHING WINTER ’24 / SPRING ’25
We welcome submissions from both new and emerging authors; those writers who have not yet published a work of fiction or memoir by a publisher at the time of submission. We also sign work, previously unpublished in the UK, by established authors. We are particularly interested in publishing English language translations of books previously published in foreign language territories.
We are looking for stories by bold and unabashed authors with a unique voice; work that strives to entertain, inspire, open and expand the mind. We are not looking for perfection, rather brilliance in whatever form it takes. Diamonds in the rough are most welcome.
If you meet these criteria, you can send your work directly to our editorial team by email. This is our preferred method and will ensure the quickest response.
Before submitting your work, we suggest you fully understand and are comfortable with our way of working. We believe we offer incredible value with high integrity. Judge for yourself. Read about our Independent Publishing Contract.
Please send a synopsis and complete manuscript to submissions@foreshorepublishing.com

OUR PUBLISHING PROCESS
Once your submission is received it is considered for publication by an editor, who will assess content, subject matter, and suitability.
The review process usually takes between 4-6 weeks.
If the editor considers the work to be appropriate for our lists, we will put forward an offer of publication.
Thank you.
