Submissions are OPEN for May 2026!

 We accept submissions of unpublished manuscripts only during the submission window. We want new shocking writing that is different from mainstream prose and poetry.  

• All submissions should be typed in a legible 12-point font like Arial or Times New Roman.
• Single or double spacing is fine.
• Submit in doc or docx only. Send an email if you have difficulty with this.
• Please proofread your work before submission.
• NO fancy formatting/contents page formatting/headers and footers of any kind.
• We do not treat any writers differently from others. All writers are judged equally. We are only interested in powerful manuscripts and writing of high quality.

Any submissions that do not adhere to these requirements will NOT be read. All submissions are to be emailed to submissions@hiddenhandbooks.com.
