book submissions

Please read the following with care:

We like collections (of poems / stories / essays / hybridised work) and encourage formal experiment.

Submission is free.

Please familiarise yourself with the current house cover style, as represented by Misherit, B O X and Strays, and be content with it. In the event that cover art cannot be agreed upon, we revert to this house style. The interior will be monochrome and typeset in Cardo. If you want something different, you are welcome to pitch the idea but please do so in your initial submission.

We publish with initial runs of 150 copies. Authors will be paid a £1.25 per book rate (usually £187.50 / $246.99) and receive 10% in author copies (usually 15), plus a 50% discount on any future author copies. Further payment is issued at a £1 per book rate on future print runs, with the same percentage of free author copies. Please note that orders from the author will sometimes be sent direct from the printer and the payment structure does not apply to the purchase of author copies as a result.

Thank you for reading, if you think HVTN is a good home for your work, we would be delighted for you to send a manuscript at a minimum of 36 pages.
