Submitting your first urban fantasy novel for publication

Our submission process starts with the author questionnaire. It asks about your urban fantasy novel, your audience, and your goals, so our editors can review it with the right context.

A straightforward submission path

Editor's note: Urban fantasy

Urban fantasy sets magic against a recognizable modern city, so the friction between those two worlds carries much of the story.

If you're a first-time author with a urban fantasy 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
