Thank you for your interest in submitting a manuscript to Generous Press! 

Currently (summer 2026) we are only reading manuscripts by authors who are of the global majority—Black, Indigenous, people of color. 

Full guidelines and the link to submit for our current call for manuscripts can be found here. You will be required to create an account on the submission manager Duosuma before you submit. Submitting is free. Please prepare to submit:

• a cover letter

• book synopsis

• 3rd-person author bio

• full manuscript between 60k-100k words as a PDF

If an agent represents you, they are welcome to query elaina@generous.press.​

Generous Press is a home for lush, high-caliber, and inclusive romance fiction: books so well written that every sentence is a delight to read aloud. Joy is at the center of everything we do. Generous authors are LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and/or disabled writers telling love stories starring diverse protagonists. If these descriptions fit you, and if our mission lights you up, we want to read your book.

If you do not see a current call that applies to you, check back soon.
