Scarlet Tiger Press is open to submissions year-round, and we love receiving new work, however at present we only publish 2-3 main titles per year, plus a scattering of Interlude pamphlets.
Please send submissions to hello@scarlettigerpress.com.
-
It is free to submit, however we do encourage writers who are in a position to do so to purchase a copy of one of our books. Not only does this support our work, but it allows you to become familiar with the kind of writing we enjoy. This is absolutely not compulsory though, and will have no influence on the outcome of your submission.

We are interested in receiving work from writers who engage with environmental themes.
If you would like us to consider your work, please send a short sample that gives us a good flavour of the work as a whole (for poetry this doesn’t need to be consecutive, but for fiction it should be from the beginning of the piece). An author bio and a synopsis if it is a work of fiction or non-fiction is also great!
Poetry pamphlets should be at least 20 pages of poetry. Fiction and non-fiction pamphlets should be at least 15,000-20,000 words.
Any font and formatting is fine, just make sure it is legible.
Finally, we would also appreciate a cover letter letting us know why you would like to be published by Scarlet Tiger Press.

Interludes is our series of fleeting pamphlets that exist for a time and are gone. They are the ideal space for experimentation and play. These pamphlets are usually under 36 pages and are staple bound. If you would like your work to be part of our Interludes series, please indicate this in your email.

Scarlet Tiger Press is a very small team so it might take us a little while to respond, however we will do our best to let you know if we would like to publish your work within 3 months. Feel free to nudge us if you are still waiting after this time!
