New Leaf Editions Series Submission Guidelines

Thistledown's New Leaf Editions Series is devoted to introducing talented writers to the Canadian public with their first full-length publications. The series consists of usually four books of 64 pages each with a similar format and design.

Note: Our next New Leaf Editions Series will be published in 2010. We will accept submissions on an ongoing basis, but the final decision will not be made until the fall of 2009. Please specify in your cover letter that you are submitting to New Leaf Editions.

1. Priority will be given to entrants who are Saskatchewan residents.

2. Submissions are restricted to entrants who have not had their work previously published as a whole in book form.

3. Submissions may be poetry, literary fiction, or creative non-fiction, and should be around 100 manuscript pages to allow for editing and selection.

4. The manuscript should be an original, double-spaced hard copy generated from a suitable word processing program.

5. Include with the submission a brief biographical summary, full publishing history, and a sufficient SASE for return of all the submitted materials.

6. Close consideration will be given to work that is imaginative and well crafted, with a wide appeal.

7. Simultaneous and electronic submissions will not be accepted.
