Canis Major Books is looking for active, energetic, and rollicking good stories. We're open to all kinds of narratives: dark, funny, brittle, sweet, a thicket of glory in the pine trees.
Please include the following with your submission (all parts of your submission MUST be submitted in one single PDF):
- A cover letter that briefly describes the work and the author’s background, lists any publication credits if applicable, and explains why the work is a fit for Canis Major Books.
- A brief synopsis of the work (“this happens, then this happens . . .”), no more than two pages in length.
- The work itself. Authors may submit either the full manuscript or a sample of between 20 and 30 pages. Please keep in mind that full manuscripts take longer to review. All manuscripts should include page numbers on every page.
Given the high volume of submissions we receive, please expect a response time of three to six months. We appreciate your patience. Phone calls, emails, and letters will not speed up the process, and are strongly discouraged.
