Writer’s Relief: Helping authors reach their publishing goals since 1994
As an authors submission service, we help authors reach their publishing goals with targeted submissions to literary agents and editors. Writing and sending out submissions should make you feel EXCITED! EMPOWERED! Not anxious and overwhelmed. If you need help researching and preparing your submissions to literary agents and editors, Writers Relief will identify the best literary agents and publishers for your book manuscript or the best literary journals for your poetry, short story or personal essay. Our targeted submissions will boost your exposure and maximize your acceptance rate!
Writer’s Relief has been named one of the top websites for writers. You can also watch and read our many client testimonials and reviews.
Please Note: Our primary focus is on American markets. We target American literary agents for books. And for short prose and poetry, we target American markets and some overseas publications that accept submissions in English. Therefore, we can only work with manuscripts written in English.
Keep in mind that if your submission comes when we’re not actively reading submissions, it may take up to two months to get back to you.
Please select your genre below to submit your strongest work for consideration.
For consideration please submit the first 13 pages, and a short 1-2 page synopsis or a full proposal for prescriptive nonfiction books.
Your novel/memoir must be complete. Prescriptive nonfiction books (e.g. self-help, history) can be unfinished so long as you have a completed proposal.
If you are submitting a book, previously published and self-published works are welcome.
For consideration please submit 9-12 stand-alone poems, as separate files (DOC, DOCX, or PDF).
If you are submitting short prose or poetry, do NOT send previously published works—whether they appeared in print or online. This policy is necessary due to current industry-wide trends and guidelines.
Please note: Based on publishing industry preferences, we do not work with rhyming poetry.
For consideration please submit 3 short stories (fiction) or personal essays/creative nonfiction, each under 3,500 words, as separate files (DOC, DOCX, or PDF).
If you are submitting short prose or poetry, do NOT send previously published works—whether they appeared in print or online. This policy is necessary due to current industry-wide trends and guidelines.
