Dates for open submissions

1st -31st July 2024: Children's, Middle Grade & YA

​

Unfortunately Hashtag Press is unable to accept manuscripts outside of unagented authors at the moment. We are a tiny team and we want to be able to read manuscripts in a timely manner. 

However we have months throughout the year where we are open to unagented authors and would love to read your manuscript. 

Any manuscripts sent outside of the dates above, will not be read.

​

 

We are looking for excellent writers with brilliant diverse stories to tell.

​

Please read the about us before submitting to us. We would prefer books that haven't been published already. 

​

We love diverse and inclusive books! We are open to debut authors especially those from an underrepresented background. We publish commercial fiction books for young people that are plot driven with relatable, inspiring characters.

​

We are a tiny publishing house so we are incredibly selective. 

​

Young Adult books we're looking for: Books with series potential, thriller, horror, murder mysteries, romantasy, fantasy, romance with Black love, Asian rep, disability rep, coming of age, dystopia, gritty stories. 

​

We are not looking for: Science fiction or picture books. Anything that isn't diverse. 

​

We only review submissions via email. Please email submissions@hashtagpress.co.uk

​

Please don't send us a film pitch or a book cover.

​
