Shiraki Press seeks genre fiction* manuscripts for new novellas & novelettes (10k-50k words), with a hopepunk vibe, targeted at adult audiences.
All submissions will be considered carefully, but we particularly delight in fiction that explores the indomitable human ability to stand against the dark and light the way to worlds that could be. We look for stories that remind us to stretch and grow beyond who we were before, to create and build worlds where connection emerges from chaos and community out-competes greed.
Above all, we believe that love is more durable than fear and small acts of kindness can lay the groundwork for real change.
*Genre Fiction: Speculative Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Alternative History, Legends & Fairy Tales, Gothic, Magical Realism, Noir, Occult & Supernatural, Romance, Action & Adventure, Mystery, Horror, Thrillers, Westerns
