UPDATE: Thank you for sending your work. Due to the volume of submissions, it won’t now be possible to get back to everyone personally as intended. If you haven’t heard from us by July 1st 2025, it means we felt your work wasn’t quite right for our list. Please do consider us for future submissions.

No automated response, alas! We will endeavour to get back to everyone in four to six weeks.

CONDUIT BOOKS update: So far we've had an incredible response to the May open subs, with over 650 manuscripts from around the world! As a result, we are pausing submissions from the USA and Canada until further notice. Apologies, but we're still a fledgling UK small press! www.conduitbooks.co.uk

Hi Keith, the intention is not to be ageist. We are merely saying the launch book that will serve us (and the industry) best is a book by young unknown male novelist who needs a break. We have many manuscripts from writers in their 40s, 50s & 60s currently under consideration.

If, as Sheena Patel claims in today’s Guardian, that ‘men are doing just fine’, how come @thebookseller.com's
top 10 fiction picks for April featured no male authors? Now if it was the other way round…

Thank you Ella Creamer for this balanced and considered piece in today's @theguardian.com exploring the representation of men and women in publishing (& @conduitbooks.bsky.social). www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Submissions are open! Please send your novel, novella, short story collection or memoir to CONDUIT BOOKS via our website below. Subs close May 31st 2025. Looking forward to reading. Please RT to spread the word. www.conduitbooks.co.uk
