Fringe is the exotic, the chaotic, a twisted mind-blowing concoction.

We’re looking for novels and short stories primarily in the thriller, horror, upmarket literary, sci-fi, and crime/mystery that bleed from genre to genre and can’t be neatly put into a box. Work that is visual, plot-heavy, and potentially adaptable to film and TV—screenwriters welcome and encouraged to submit!

Submission Process

Email the following to submissions@fringepublishers.com:

Simultaneous submissions are A-OK, but please query using separate submission emails. 

• NOTE: we’re currently ONLY reviewing novel submissions.
• In the body of your email, paste your complete query letter—word count, genre, paragraph synopsis, comp titles, and bio.
• Attach a 1 to 3-page synopsis, which discloses the ending (even if it’s a surprise twist).
• Attach your full manuscript as a Word document .doc or .docx.

Response

We only respond to submissions we’re interested in publishing. If you don’t hear back from us within ~4 months, the manuscript has not been accepted.
