Let’s Talk Submissions

Let’s be honest—submitting your work might just be the most nerve-racking part of writing. Whether it’s a full manuscript, an anthology piece, or even just an email pitch, the moment you hit send feels like handing over a piece of your soul.

Submissions aren’t just about grammar or formatting. They’re about something much deeper: proving you’re worthy. You’re hoping someone out there will see what you see. Feel what you feel. Believe in your story as much as you do.

You’re not just looking for any agent, publisher, or editor. You’re looking for your person—someone who sees your vision clearly and wants your book out in the world just as much as you do.

The waiting is hard. The rejections can and will sting. But the hope? It’s powerful.

So, if you’re in that in-between space right now—refreshing your inbox, overthinking every sentence of your cover letter—know this: you’re not alone, and your story matters.

Keep writing. Keep submitting. The right eyes will find you
