Our submissions window is open from November 1st-30th.

Please read the below guidelines carefully before submitting work.

Guidelines

• The books published by The Lilliput Press are all broadly focused on Irish themes. Please bear this in mind when considering us for submission. The Lilliput Press is currently not accepting genre literature, such as children’s literature, crime fiction or science fiction.
• When the submissions window opens, we ask for a one-page cover letter including some details about your writing background, a synopsis of your book and why you believe The Lilliput Press is the best fit for your work. We also ask for three chapters (or an extract of up to 5000 words) from your manuscript.
• Submissions should be uploaded via our Google Form If you have any difficulties viewing this form, please email editorial@lilliputpress.ie
• Please save your cover letter and manuscript sample with the title of your book and your name before uploading.
• You will receive confirmation of your submission via the Google form. The Lilliput Press receives hundreds of submissions every year. We endeavour to give time and attention to all of them, but please allow up to 6 months for a response.
