Submissions
So New publishes novel-length fiction, essay collections, short fiction and Necessary Fiction, a weekly webjournal of new literary fiction.
We seek writing that pushes the bounds of language, that is passionate, exciting, experimental and deeply felt — while still telling a great story. Our brand of fiction is not defined by genre but could contain elements of many methods of storytelling — from crime to romance to chick-lit to action-adventure to you-name-it. We want to read work that is in love with language, excited about telling a story, and ruthless about economy. (Humor and sex keep us interested, too.)
We only consider books by authors we already know, and a submission to Necessary Fiction is the best way to get our attention.
