Allow six weeks to two months for a reply; queries will be responded to sooner if at all possible. No email or telephone queries confirming receipt or checking on the status of a submission please. Materials mailed without return postage and a self-addressed envelope will not be returned, nor will submissions be returned via envelopes with foreign postage coupons or cash.
As a general rule it is best to consider our website before making a submission in order to determine whether your work fits our list. A project may not be suitable for us simply because it contains LGBT content. Ideally your work should fit within our existing publishing program as outlined on our home page.
