Open Letter Books

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Open Letter is a literary press that publishes ten books annually—mostly novels, but also collections of short stories, poetry, and literary essays. We only publish books in translation and do not publish children's or young adult literature, plays, self-help books, or how-to guides, etc.


We are currently CLOSED to submissions.

Because of the volume of submissions, we simply cannot respond to phone, fax, or email inquiries about the status of queries or manuscripts.

The status of your submission can be seen by logging in to your Submittable account.
