Last year our angry but adorable Overlords Angry Robot Books ran an Open Door month.

Which is what, you ask?

It involved AR relaxing the usual submission guidelines and allowing authors-to-be who were unagented to send in a manuscript.

It worked wonderfully well, with three authors signed up!

Why am I telling you this?

Because this year Strange Chemistry is jumping on the band wagon!

That’s right – we are looking for YA authors-to-be who have written any form of speculative YA fiction (fantasy, SF, horror, or some mash-up of the three!) to submit in the period between April 16th and April 30th.

Full details can be found HERE and we do advise that you read the WHOLE list of requirements!

In addition Angry Robot Books are asking for Classic Fantasy – high, epic, medieval, magical, etc – but only adult fiction. See their requirements here.
