Off Limits Press: Novel/Novella Call
This window is open for both our normal Off Limits Press titles as well as submissions for our Off Limits Pulp imprint. As always, I will prioritize work from marginalized voices in our search for content. This is not simply our desire at Off Limits. It is also our dedicated mission. While any author may submit, of course, I especially encourage women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, Jewish, disabled, and neurodivergent authors to send us your work during this window.

July 22nd -- August 13th 2023
WORDCOUNT:
25,000 -- 50,000 (hard limit)
