Submission guidelines

The agency seeks mystery and thriller fiction, romance (including romantasy) and women's fiction, family sagas and horror fiction of at least 80,000 words, particularly welcoming works by diverse and underrepresented authors. Non-fiction, young adult or children's fiction, poetry, science fiction and fantasy, and short stories are not published. Submit a one-page synopsis, the whole manuscript as a Word document, and contact details to submissions@herabooks.com. Every submission is read, but due to volume, contact is only made in the event of further interest in the novel.
