Our submissions are now closed!
Thank you for your interest in Riverfolk Publishing, but we are currently closed to unsolicited submissions.
We will be reopening again in the future, so keep an eye on this page or sign up to our newsletter to be alerted when this happens!
What we’re looking for:
Riverfolk Publishing is interested in reading most genres but we are particularly excited by all kinds of Fantasy, Slice of Life, GameLit, Sci-fi, Portal Fantasy/Isekai, LitRPG, and Progression.
We prefer series rather than standalones, but we’re always happy to read submissions!
How to submit to us
You do not need to have an agent to submit to us but please let us know in the query if you do. We are currently only accepting completed manuscripts however we may occasionally request works in progress.
If you have a finished manuscript of approx. 70,000 words or more, please send us the following to submissions@riverfolkbooks.com
Please include the following as separate word documents, not in the body of the email:
A covering letter including a short elevator pitch and, if your book is the first in the series, how many books you plan to write in that series. Make sure to also include some information about yourself, previous writing experience, and links to any social media pages you have under your author/pen name! This isn’t necessary, so don’t worry if you don’t have social media, but it would be great if you could include these!
The first 50 pages of your manuscript in Times New Roman and double spaced.
A 1 page synopsis. Please make sure to include how the book ends!
Please remember to include your real name (and your pseudonym, if you use one) and email address, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Good luck and we look forward to reading your work!
