An amazing step. When is the right time to submit from Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteAwesome. We need more voices from women on domestic abuse. Can't wait to submitted next Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteHi are submissions for the Wednesday post still being accepted and if so are you accepting manuscripts from the UK?
ReplyDeleteDawn, this is a blog. To answer your question, you need to go to the HarperCollins website. (Where it says "Submit HERE" at the end of the post, click on HERE.)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI think the link is broken for the "Submit here".
Please advise. I'm in the US, but I don't think that would be an issue would it?
Thank you!
Look forward to hearing back.
Hi Perri, HarperCollins has recently suspended its Wednesday open submissions. It's a great pity.
DeleteOh wow! Thanks for letting me know, Erica. That IS a pity. When I finally got the courage to submit it's gone. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir or Madame,
ReplyDeleteHi, I would please like to know the website to Harper Collins's Publishing Guidelines of Poetry.
I am aware that Harper Collins is open to unsolicited work.
If you can get back to me, I would mostly appreciate for the information.
Sincerely,

Dear Richard, with the exception of Avon Impulse and HarperLegend imprints, HarperCollins does not accept unsolicited submissions.
ReplyDeleteSo to get someone to have a publishing company look at at your book we would need to get an agent? for non-fiction memoir/autobiography? Or did my chance Harper Collins open up the submissions
ReplyDeleteYes, you need an agent for all of the major publishing houses (fiction or nonfiction). But there are quite a few smaller houses that accept unagented submissions from writers. Go the tab on this blog labeled Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts.
DeleteI am self-publishing through Amazon, can I still submit my 50 pages?
ReplyDeleteNo. See the note at the top of the page that says they are now closed to submissions.
