“Autumn House Press publishes 8-10 books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction each year. We accept manuscripts for our annual prizes and through our open-call reading period.
Though we are open to all styles of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, we suggest you familiarize yourself with previous Autumn House publications before submitting your work. We are committed not just to publishing the prominent voices of our age, but also to publishing first books and lesser-known authors who will become the important writers of their generation. We encourage writers from all backgrounds to submit; it is our goal at Autumn House to develop a rich and varied literary tradition…”
