Submit to Anvil Fantasy

From Dean Alfar:

Anvil Fantasy is the newest imprint of Anvil Publishing. If you have a manuscript, send it in (contact details are available over at their website). Bonus points if your novel is geared towards a young adult readership.

Anvil appears to have a detailed explanation of its editorial procedures on its website. I’m supposing this applies to all new book proposals, so the following guidelines ought to be a great place to start:

First submit an abstract, a complete Table of Contents and two sample chapters.

Don’t submit a complete hardcopy or paper copy of your manuscript.

We try our best to evaluate all kinds of work, but our publishing program mainly considers the more popular trade genres: self-help, reference, biographies, literary anthologies, cookbooks, inspirational, humor.

There are no exact criteria for a good piece of work. That’s why we ask help from in-house as well as genre experts and other readers to evaluate the publishability of a submission. Generally, all evaluation is done at the beginning of a year, when we firm up our publishing line-up.

They also have this important note at the end:

Manuscript evaluation is done within the first quarter of every year (January – March). Submissions later than the first quarter will be evaluated for the succeeding year.

The -ber months are upon us, which means the year is coming to an end. Now would be a good time to submit something for evaluation. Got a short story compilation you’ve always wanted to put together? A finished novel? A poetry collection? An anthology you’ve finished with friends? Send in your proposals!
