Submission Guidelines

Please use our online submission system, provided by Submishmash. Click here to submit. It only takes a couple seconds to create an account. Feel free to include a cover letter in the field provided. Emailed submissions or queries will not receive a response. However, if you haven't heard about a submission in a while, feel free to check in by emailing editor -at- publishinggenius.com.

For isReads, submissions are closed.

For Chapbook Genius, send innovative essays. They should be between 2500 and 7000 words.

For Everyday Genius, please send three to five poems or one story of less than 500-words. Please note that because Everyday Genius uses guest editors, response times may vary from a few hours to several months. Sorry about that!

For youth fiction about a sad kid who discovers a doorway to a parallel universe, PGP is yes.

For other full-length books, submissions are closed. They will probably open again in April 2012.

At this point, for all publications, Publishing Genius is particularly interested in something else altogether. What is coherent? Why do we think we understand something while we think something else is nonsense? How can we avoid not knowing what we don't know? How can we make that process fun?The best submissions make us say, "Whoa, how did that get there?" We are less interested in form/content than in effect.

Authors retain all rights. Contractual terms apply for printed books. For Everyday Genius, Chapbook Genius, and isReads, there is no financial payment.

Thanks for considering us with your work.
