Submissions

We are accepting submissions in the THRILLER, MYSTERY, and HISTORICAL FICTION genres.

Our editorial team is looking for stories that have compelling characters, fast-paced plots, and unexpected turns.

We are accepting submissions from agents, published authors, and debut authors. We encourage agents and authors to submit their backlist titles.

Please include the following with your submission:

  • Cover Letter: Describe your background as it pertains to your writing career and your manuscript, including formal education and career history. (For example, if you are writing crime thrillers and you were a former criminal attorney, we would want to know.) Include a list of the following (where applicable): rate of production, published works, website, and social media pages, and, finally, a brief (250 word) description of your manuscript.
  • Manuscript: Please send your complete manuscript to submissions@severnriverpublishing.com.

If we decide to move forward with your manuscript, we will be in contact with you as soon as possible.
