The Australian division of Big Five publisher Pan Macmillan accepts unagented submissions on what it calls Manuscript Monday. Submissions can come from anywhere in the world as long as they are received on the first Monday of the month between 10am and 4pm Australian Eastern Standard Time via the form at: www.panmacmillan.com.au/manuscript-monday/ where you can also read the full guidelines.
The editorial team are looking for commercial fiction in the following genres: women’s fiction, romance, thriller, crime, historical, humour, paranormal, fantasy. They also want literary fiction, including short stories, as well as nonfiction – think along the lines of history, memoir, mind/body/spirit, travel, health, diet and or biography (biographies about Australians are most likely to succeed). No scripts, plays, poetry or academic books.
