We are seeking novels that fall under the fantasy genre, and we accept fantasy of all kinds, although we have a focus on novels that take place in imaginative alternate worlds and societies. We do not accept science fiction (we will make exceptions for fantasy that includes scifi elements, but we’re not looking to publish books that are purely science fiction).
We are looking to publish fantasy that strays from the typical conventions of the genre. This means we aren’t very interested in works that feature medieval England-like societies, monarchies as governments, and species such as elves and dwarves, unless you’re doing something particularly interesting with those concepts. We want to publish fantasy that challenges preconceived notions of what the genre can be.
We are actively seeking to bring more diverse voices to the fantasy genre, so we highly encourage writers of marginalized identities to submit.
In order to submit, send a query letter with a synopsis and the first 40-50 pages of the book in standard manuscript format to changelingsubmissions@gmail.com. We will get back to you within 6 months. Please keep an electronic copy of what you send.
