Please familiarise yourself with our list and consider whether your writing is a good fit.

Our director, Richard Davies, says: "We're looking for gems in this submission window. Outstanding titles that we simply can't resist. We only have a small number of spaces on our future publishing schedule so send us your best work."

Please send submissions and any queries, when the submission window is open, to our dedicated email address: parthiansubmissions@gmail.com

Also consider both writing competitions in the New Welsh Writing Awards, (closing 31/1/25): The Rheidol Prize: For Prose with Welsh Theme or Setting and The Borzello Trust Poetry Prize.

Please read the information on the FAQ page of our website regarding submissions, and follow the guidelines.

We will try to respond to all submissions within twelve weeks but please bear in mind that we are a small team with lots of other duties.
