Manuscript Submissions

Interested in submitting a manuscript for consideration at Nuyorican Books?

We will begin reviewing submissions in January 2026 but you are welcome to submit now if you're in no hurry to begin the publication process. Please note: we are a small publishing house and must make careful decisions over which manuscript(s) will be approved. 

Nuyorican Books offers two types of publishing contracts:

1. Traditional contract: The author is NOT responsible for ANY costs associated with publication. Nuyorican Books will incur ALL costs of producing, publishing, and marketing the work. 

2. Hybrid contract: The author covers the initial costs of production and printing. Nuyorican Books will cover marketing fees. This model allows for more creative freedom on the part of the author since they're covering the fees for production. 

We look forward to reading your submission! CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT A MANUSCRIPT!
