For Writers

Submission guidelines.

We read on a rolling basis. We are particularly interested in literary fiction, ideas books with a clear point of view, and writing for young readers.

  1. What we read

    Literary fiction (novels and novellas), serious nonfiction (technology, finance, leadership), and books for young readers. We do not currently take poetry or genre fiction.

  2. What to send

    A query letter, a one-page synopsis, and the first three chapters (or first 30 pages, whichever is longer). Attach as a single PDF or paste inline.

  3. How to send it

    Email submissions@weekendscriptorium.com with the subject: Submission — [Title] — [Your Name].

  4. What to expect

    We aim to reply within eight weeks. If we are interested in reading more, we will ask for the full manuscript. If we are not, we will say so honestly and briefly.

  5. Simultaneous submissions
