Querencia Press accepts poetry, fiction, non-fiction (including memoir), and hybrid work. We accept work through email:
querenciapress@gmail.com
Please include a short, third-person bio in the body of your email and the genre you are submitting to in the subject line.
We are currently looking for chapbooks, full length manuscripts, as well as pieces for our Fall ‘22 unthemed anthology.
We accept simultaneous submissions and previously published work that has appeared in print or online (this includes blogs and social media). As long as you hold the copyright to the work, we want to see it!
You keep the rights to your work! Your work belongs to you!
Querencia Press does not charge a submission fee. If a manuscript is accepted, you will receive a contract with competitive royalty options, but we are a non-paying market for anthologies.
All submissions should be in a single .pdf, .doc, or .docx format, however we do not require any specific formatting guidelines. Do not send us Google Docs—we cannot use them across all of our devices, and if we have to ask for you to resend your submission in a different format, it increases your wait time. For anthology submissions we ask that you title your document with the genre and the number of pieces (i.e. Poetry - 5 Pieces).
We do not tolerate sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, or any other forms of bigotry. We do accept explicit content, but please provide a trigger warning so we know what we are reading.
Querencia is a small press. We read and consider each submission carefully, and we do not believe in silent rejections. You will receive a response.
Manuscripts - We are looking for chapbooks and full-lengths in any genre. For chapbooks, we are seeking work with a minimum of 20 pieces or a minimum of 1,500 words. Work that exceeds 45 pieces or 30,000 words will be considered full-length. There is no page limit, but please let us know what genre the work falls into along with if you are submitting a chapbook or a full-length manuscript. We currently publish all manuscripts in a 6x9 softcover format, so if you have unique formatting you may want to see what your manuscript will look like in this size. Please submit your work in a single document (preferably .doc or .docx—any accepted manuscripts will need to be converted to this format).
Poetry - We accept submissions of up to five (5) pieces per person. There is no page or word count limit, but we will not read additional submissions in the same category unless you have received a response. Please submit your work in a single document.
Fiction, Non-fiction, & Hybrid - We accept submissions of up to three (3) pieces per person. There is no page limit. Please do not exceed 2,000 words per piece. We will not read additional submissions in the same category unless you have received a response. Please submit your work in a single document.
*Anthology submissions DEADLINE: August 15th, 2022 - any anthology submissions sent outside of the submission window will roll over to our next anthology period.
