We will read every submission we receive and respond in a timely fashion. That’s six months you could have been sending your manuscript somewhere else for consideration.Īt Aurora House, we accept unsolicited manuscripts every day of the week and don’t believe in lengthy ‘waiting periods’. Often you don’t get a message to say if your manuscript was rejected so you have to wait it out for the six months before you realise you weren’t successful.

Now, some of you may be thinking you’d prefer to go with a ‘traditional’ publisher such as Penguin or Allen and Unwin, and it is still possible to submit unsolicited manuscripts to them on specified times of the week/month.
