Brittany Lavery is an associate editor at Graydon House (here is a link to the Twitter thread where she answers a lot of questions).

Here are some key takeaways:

  • They only publish Adult Fiction (no YA, middle-grade, or children’s)
  • Inkyard Press, their sister imprint, is going to be doing a similar open call in August for YA novels across all genres (link to Twitter thread)
  • No sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or nonfiction
  • It DOES include queer lit!
  • Romance/romantic women’s fiction can be sent to HQN Imprint who are doing a similar open call (link to Twitter thread), but the editors acquire manuscripts for both imprints and will make sure it gets to the right place
  • They are open to international Black writers + Black writers of any gender
  • While they will only make an offer for completed manuscripts, they still look at unfinished manuscripts and may request to see more material
  • According to Melanie Fried, editor at Graydon House, here’s what’s hot right now:

Make sure you get your manuscripts in, and tell your Black author friends!!! I’d love to know who all’s submitting!!!

Neat! I hope any black writers following me can take advantage of this!

Also hey @thebibliosphere this looks like something some of your followers could benefit from, would you mind spreading around?

Absolutely!
