We are currently NOT ACCEPTING submissions, however, the following is what you should know about New Belleville Press (for when we do start accepting submissions):

We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts.

Please send us a query letter including a brief history of yourself, what your project is about, several sample pages, and whatever else you think is important. We hope to publish two to five new titles per year.

We are interested in all genres, though we tend to lean towards narratives from people who are themselves a bit lost. We tend to like characters who are out of touch and/or living in a place foreign to them.

We are interested in journal-writing, fiction—genre mainstream literary ... terms I dislike—non-fiction, poetry, personal essays, translations ... we like noir, hardboil, sarcasm, colloquialisms, magic-realism, surrealism, style for the sake of style, strong images, short and sweet ... we are interested in humor, in satire, and a willingness to tell a story without moralizing or giving a lecture. We are not interested in teenage or post-teenage angst, religious, or how-to's.

Unsolicited manuscripts will go unread, unreturned, and will most probably end up in the garbage. Thank you.

We are currently working on projects written in English. Eventually, we hope to accept projects in French, Spanish, English and a mixture thereof.

We are currently not accepting submissions of any kind. However, please buy our books, t-shirts, koozies, and anything else we sell ... come to our parties, readings, get-togethers ... sign up for our newsletter ... check out what we’re trying to do.We’re moving one tiny step at a time ... and that’s fine by us ... because we’re moving forward. And that’s what counts. Thanks for thinking about us, and good cheers to you!
