Well hello there! And welcome! You may have read our exciting announcement(s) this morning – not just are we relaunching the website (if you seek our [new] monument, look around you…) but we’re also going to be hosting our very first open submissions period later this year!

As per the Bookseller, ‘Hodderscape will host its first open submission period from 3rd August to 16th August this year, looking for new voices in science fiction, fantasy and horror. More details on how to submit work will be released closer to the time.’

But here’s a little bit more information about our open submissions, to tide you over until then:

Beginning 12 am on the dot, GMT, of 3 August 2015 we will be accepting open submssions for new, hitherto unpublished novels. Please expect to send us a full synopsis of two or three pages, and the first three chapters of your manuscript. We’ll be looking for exciting new voices in science fiction, fantasy and horror. Submissions will close on Sunday 16 August at 11.59 pm GMT exactly.

We will provide more details about what we’re looking for and how to submit later this year, so watch this space – and get writing!
