A few months ago Angry Robot ran an Open Door scheme, and
it's good news that Harper Voyager are doing something similar. An Open Door
programme is where a publisher enables, for a usually time-limited period,
submissions of a specific genre from aspiring authors who lack agents (which
are most of them as getting an agent isn't easy).
Full details can be found here:
The publisher already has a stellar array of fantasy writers
including George RR Martin and Robin Hobb.
They're after pretty much any kind of 'speculative fiction',
which translates to sci-fi, fantasy, horror and dystopia.
Digital submissions will be accepted from the 1st to the
14th of October.
I strongly advise those considering submitting to read
the guidelines and FAQs to avoid making a schoolboy error and potentially
losing out on a deal due to a technical failure.
The start of the submission window isn't far away, so if
you've got a manuscript that needs dusting off and checking, you'd better get
cracking.
