Editor's note: Science fiction

Science fiction depends on how clearly the world's rules are set up, and on revealing them through story rather than exposition.

If you're a first-time author with a science fiction novel, you shouldn't have to guess where to start. Our process is straightforward: you share your questionnaire, we review what you submitted, and we follow up with next steps if there's a strong fit.

  • Editorial feedback and direction tailored to new writers
  • A clear path from questionnaire submission to publication planning
  • A publishing partner built for first-time voices and thoughtful storytelling
