Conference Requests

If one of our Carina Press editors requested your submission at a conference or event, please submit here. 

At minimum, we require:

  • A detailed query letter with a 3-5 paragraph book description, plus a short introduction of your writing credentials and publishing history, if applicable.
  • A 2-5 page synopsis, outlining progression of plot, character arc, storyline and, also really crucial—how your story ends!  
  • A minimum of the first 7,500 words of a WIP. If you have more than 7,500 words, you can certainly send more! If you have a full manuscript, please upload the full file rather than submitting a partial. 
We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
