What are we looking for?
We publish novels, novellas and short story collections. We are looking for General Fiction - we are not a genre publisher, however this doesn't mean we won't accept work with elements of horror, romance, fantasy, etc. If you feel you have a well written story, send it our way.
Our aim is to publish writing from a wide range of voices, particularly those that have up to now been underrepresented. As a new publisher, we want our identity to be shaped by our authors.
At the moment we don't have any plans to branch out into non-fiction. We are passionate about great fiction, and believe in its power to entertain, comfort, and educate. One day we might accept submissions of essays and poetry, but we are focusing on fiction for the present.
How to submit
Please send us a brief synopsis of your work, a little bit about yourself, and whichever of the following is applicable:
Email your work to ficklepress@gmail.com. We will get back to you as soon as possible to let you know if we want to read more, however as a new publisher with nothing to publish yet we are in the process of building up a pool of submissions while we look for 'the one'. It may be a bit of a wait to hear back - we will try and get back to you to let you know either way, however if you haven't heard from us within 6 months, please assume that you haven't been successful.
- Three chapters of your completed novel
- Two chapters, or, in the event of it being chapterless, send us 30-50 pages of your completed novella
- 2-3 completed short stories from your short story collection. We also welcome submissions of individual short stories, as we also have plans to release anthologies of work from a selection of authors
