JNew Books is a new international publisher for emerging writers of literary fiction. Founder Joshua Lorenzo Newett wants ‘books that evoke emotion’, which ‘take the reader places she hasn’t been’. This is the place for literary works and the kind of novels which are difficult to place with traditional publishers. He defines literary as ‘books of substance, that are more intellectual, typically better written, and stylistically more sophisticated’, than genre works, and aims to publish twelve books a year Currently open to submissions the team have catholic tastes with ‘a soft spot for dark literary fiction with an existential bent’. Think The Savage Detectives, Under the Volcano or Death on Instalment Plan. Query first with a synopsis and first chapter. Payments, rights and royalties are discussed on acceptance.
