Banshee Press is open for book submissions from 1-15 October
Banshee Press is open for book-length submissions of fiction, poetry and memoir from 1-15 October 2025. All submitted manuscripts will be considered for our 2027 and 2028 lists (and perhaps beyond).
Who can submit:
All previous contributors to the journal
All writers from Ireland
All writers living in Ireland
What we’re looking for:
Novels, short story collections, memoirs, essay collections, and poetry collections
Exciting, confident and original writing
Books that might sit comfortably alongside our existing list – or something entirely new and different
Work from members of communities typically under-represented within literature, whether or not the work addresses this
First-time authors and previously published authors – both welcome
What we’re not looking for:
Work that has been generated by AI. We’re in alignment with the policy on the use of AI recently published by our friends at Tramp Press
Books for young readers
Academic texts
Submission guidelines:
Please submit a complete manuscript, max 100,000 words, as a .doc or .docx file.
Please include a synopsis of max 500 words as a separate .doc or .docx file.
The book in its entirety should be unpublished; however, sections of it may have been published previously.
We are happy to consider simultaneous submissions, but ask that you notify us as soon as your work is accepted for publication elsewhere.
We aim to respond to all submissions within six months. Please note that we cannot provide feedback on unsuccessful submissions.
