Submissions
Woodhall Press welcomes agented and un-agented manuscript submissions. We have published emerging writers, poet laureates, and New York Times best-selling authors. We are interested in works that surprise, delight, and shatter norms. We endeavor to respond to all submissions as quickly as possible. We also understand the importance of exploring all opportunities for your work and welcome simultaneous submissions. If your manuscript is accepted elsewhere, we’d appreciate it if you could notify us at your earliest convenience. Thank you for connecting with Woodhall Press.
