| SUBMISSION GUIDELINES |
| Submissions are welcome, though our response may be a little slow in coming. Our tastes are diverse: poetry, fiction, essay, translation, hybrids thereof. Bear in mind our modest scale (if you've written a Tolstoyan epic, it's not for us). It's likely a good idea to familiarize yourself with our backlist, to get a sense of the sort of things we like, before submitting. Please query before sending a manuscript: attachments sent without initial contact will not be opened. Email us at incaseofemergencypress@sympatico.ca. |
