Willowgate Press currently has six additional novels in press, which will occupy our time through calendar year 2003. We are therefore closed to new submissions until further notice. All submissions received prior to October 1, 2002 will be considered. All submissions received after that date will be returned without examination or comment.

As indicated, we are seeking book length fiction in all categories. We welcome both agented and unagented submissions. We will be making judgments as to literary merit and commercial viability on the basis of submissions that should include the following:

A cover letter identifying the work, and giving a brief biographical sketch of the author and his or her history of publications; A brief (one to two page) double-spaced synopsis covering the entire plot, theme and structure of the book, including the conclusion (the synopsis should also identify the genre of the work, if appropriate, the length of the work in words and pages, and whether it is written in the first or third person); A chapter outline of no more than 4-5 pages, single-spaced, that gives us the pace and plot of the novel in detail; The first ten pages of the manuscript; Ten additional consecutive pages of the manuscript of the author's choosing; A self-addressed, stamped envelope sufficient to contain all submitted materials.

We will not editorialize, critique or communicate gratuitous judgments about the quality of the work on the basis of this submission. We will either return the material to you with our thanks or ask to see the entire manuscript. If we do request the manuscript, we ask that it be forwarded in an envelope marked "requested material," and that it be one-sided, double-spaced and contain a "slug line" at the top stating title and author. It must contain an SASE or email address, to which we shall be happy to respond. Due to the difficulties of supplying a SASE from countries other than the United States, we suggest that submissions from such nations be sent with an email address, rather than return postage. We hope to respond to queries within two months, and to requested manuscripts within a six months of receipt. All submissions are to be mailed to: Willowgate Press PMB #86 248 Route 251 East Setauket, NY 11733
