Driftwood Press: Novella Series
We strongly recommend reading a few of our issues to get a sense of the fiction we publish; the same senior editors who read the short fiction will read for the novellas.
If you do not thoroughly consider the craft, sentences, and rhythm when you write, you are probably not a good fit for us. We have no content preferences, but an interesting premise never hurts.
Novella submissions are currently open. We’re hoping to publish our first novella in late 2020. Novella submissions typically take six months. Feel free to reach out to us if you've been in consideration for longer. If your work is selected, our editors will work with your to polish the work as much as possible for publication.
Fiction only. 10,000-30,000 words recommended. We’ll consider works slightly outside of these parameters, but don’t push them too much. 40,000 words, for instance, is a novel, not a novella. Base submission cost is $20. Additionally, we are offering a $30 dollar submission option that will include a print copy of our first novella. We will ship to the address provided on your submittable account. Any novella writer selected for publication will receive $1,000 dollars and 10 copies of their novella, both granted upon publication.
