Interested in Writing for Witchy Mysteries?

Submissions Currently Closed (We will re-open submissions October 1st 2022)

We are currently accepting submissions for series of at least three books in length in the following genres: paranormal cozy mystery; cozy paranormal romance; paranormal women's fiction. You must have a completed manuscript prior to submission.

Our books focus on heroines aged 30 and beyond! 

Manuscripts should ideally fall within the 40,000 to 60,000 word range, but there is some room for flexibility. We will review both agented and non-agented submissions, and are also willing to consider previously self-published work.

Please send a one-page query letter and sample chapter to submissions@witchymysteries.com if you are interested in writing for our press. Please note that it can take anywhere from two to eight weeks to receive a response depending on our submission load.
