Submissions

Afsana Press is a small, independent press, aiming to publish a selective number of fictional works every year. 

 

Though we will consider fiction of any genre, our preference inclines towards the literary. Our stories have a direct relation to social, political or cultural issues in countries and communities around the world, often exploring issues relating to migration and refugees, climate change, gender and social justice. 

 

Thus, we are looking for stories that reflect on those matters, even if they are set in the past or deal with historical events.

​

Submission criteria:

Please send your submission to <submission@afsanapress.uk> and include the first three chapters of you book (or around 15,000 words); a synopsis; a short blurb about the subject of the book, and tell us about yourself.

Please submit your material in word documents, using a common font, formatted nicely in paragraphs without double spaces between the paragraphs, but with indentation of the first line of each paragraph. A double space can only be used between paragraphs when it has a purpose (e.g. to show time passing; change of scene, change of point of view or subject etc.) Please don't indent the first line of a first paragraph at the start of a chapter or after a double space.
