Spencer Hill Press reports that they’ll re-open to submissions on 1 December. Spencer Hill is “an independent publishing house specializing in sci-fi, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance for young adult readers. Our books have that ‘I couldn’t put it down!’ quality.”
When they’re open, they say they “welcome queries from unpublished and previously published authors, agented or unagented. We are interested in Young Adult and New Adult sci-fi, psych-fi, paranormal, or urban fantasy, particularly those with a strong and interesting voice. We only take on new projects that inspire us and make us want to read more.
“Our mission is to grow the careers of talented YA authors. While our advance payments tend to be smaller than those of larger publishers, but we commit more resources to marketing our authors’ work. This makes us a good fit for authors at the start of their careers who want to build their following. We distribute our titles through Midpoint Trade Books, and Rebecca Mancini of RightsMix handles the sales of foreign, film, and book club rights for all of our authors.”
