We encourage you to become familiar with the type of books Etruscan publishes before submitting your manuscript for consideration.

We do not accept individual poems, essays, or short stories. All manuscripts must be book length, a minimum of 50 pages.

Submission Guidelines:

  • Manuscripts must be submitted electronically as attachments in either a Microsoft Word document (or compatible format) or as a PDF to submissions@etruscanpress.org.
  • Hard copy submissions will not be accepted, unless specifically requested by a member of the Etruscan Press editorial team.
  • The $20 reading fee may be paid through PayPal or by sending a check or money order. Click “Buy Now”  to pay through Paypal. 

  • If you are paying your reading fee by check or money order, please make it payable to “Etruscan Press” and mail to: Etruscan Press, Attn: Submissions, Wilkes University, 84 West South Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766
  • Response time: three months.
  • Simultaneous submissions accepted.
  • While we occasionally comment on especially noteworthy manuscripts, the volume of submissions makes it impossible to comment on every submission. All submissions are reviewed by a senior editor.

Thank you once again for considering Etruscan Press as your literary home. Whether or not we accept your manuscript for publication, we are cognizant of and grateful for the work and talent you offer us.
