Submissions
The
Waywiser Press is keen to receive submissions from authors new
and established, and undertakes to give everything it receives
careful consideration. However, it is important that anyone contemplating
such a submission adhere to the guidelines given below. Failure
to do so will certainly result in delay, and could easily result
in summary rejection.
Guidelines
(i)
Poetry
1.
The press is happy to receive submissions at any time of
the year. However, to make things more manageable, we will only
be looking at them between April 1st and September 30th, and authors
should expect to to wait 6-8 weeks from the moment we start our
assessment to the point at which they will receive a response.
2.
Authors should send complete manuscripts, not simply a selection
of poems (as heretofore).
3.
Together with the collection, you should send a resumé
or cv. Amongst other things, this should list any previous publications.
4.
We cannot consider hand-written submissions, so please have
everything typed or word-processed, on standard-size white paper.
5.
Except in special circumstances, all submissions must be
sent by post. Do not attempt to send us anything by fax or email
unless you have obtained our permission to do so.
6.
All submissions should be accompanied by a stamped self-addressed
envelope, or a self-addressed envelope together with an international
postal coupon. Please note that manuscripts can only be returned
if the stamps or coupons supplied are sufficient for the purpose,
and will otherwise be disposed of without further notice.
(ii)
