The Wednesday Post
HarperCollinsPublishers ANZ is excited to announce
the launch of its new online unsolicited submission program, The
Wednesday Post, which goes live today, Wednesday 21 August 2013. Our goal
is to uncover, develop and promote the most outstanding voices writing today.
The new
portal can be accessed from the home page at www.harpercollins.co.nz. Submissions are accepted every week on Wednesday
only. Aspiring authors will be asked to present synopses of their work and the
first 50 pages of a manuscript. We are looking for writers at every stage of
their career, from closet scribes to those who have a history of publication.
Adult and YA books are the focus
for this initiative, and we will be accepting manuscripts in both fiction and
non-fiction genres. We are particularly seeking exceptional contemporary
women’s fiction. The Wednesday Post will respond to authors within three weeks
if we wish to see more of their work. All submissions will be considered for
print and e-book publication as well as digital-only publication, which is an
area we will be actively growing in the coming years through a dedicated e-only
publishing model.
We are eagerly looking forward to
our first intake of submissions and encourage all hopeful authors to apply. We
love a good story, and if you have one to tell we want to hear from you.
