Brink Books
Ends on
Use this form to submit full-length book manuscripts only. Brink's literary journal is currently closed for submissions and will reopen July 1-31.
What Brink Books Is Seeking
We are interested in books that press boundaries by using more than one genre, medium, or form. Brink’s first book, Malleable and True: A Hybrid Craft Anthology from Brink Literary Journal (September 2025), compiles published and brand-new work from the first five years of the journal alongside reflections on hybridity and generative prompts. After the anthology launches, we will publish two books of hybrid writing per year.
We welcome submissions of cross-genre, hybrid, and visual hybrid books. We will consider finished manuscripts sent through Submittable. We cannot consider pitches or proposals for work-in-progress. A great way to learn more about the type of work we love is to read an issue of the journal and some of our public access pieces on our website.
Agented and un-agented submissions are welcome. We do accept translated work.
How to Submit Your Book
Our open submissions period for full-length book manuscripts will run May 1, 2025 through September 1, 2025. When you submit, please include a brief cover letter in Submittable that contains the following:
1) A short (1-2 paragraph) description of your manuscript
2) A short author’s and/or translator’s bio
There is no fee to submit. We cannot accept unsolicited manuscripts by email or paper mail. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, but authors must notify Brink immediately if a manuscript is accepted elsewhere. We cannot accept manuscript revisions after a manuscript has been sent in; you will need to withdraw on Submittable and resubmit.
Timeline
Brink Books is run by a small editorial staff, so we thank you in advance for your patience as we read and respond to submissions. We aim to treat each manuscript with consideration and care, so it may be several months before you hear back from us.
