Not every manuscript belongs with every publisher. At Loner Guy Publishing, we focus on clean speculative fiction for middle grade, young adult, and adult readers. We’re interested in stories with a distinct voice, strong imaginative elements, emotional depth, intriguing dialogue, and very character driven.
We are especially drawn to bold, emotionally resonant fiction that pushes boundaries—without crossing them.
We look for manuscripts that are original in concept, strong in voice, clean in content, emotionally engaging, and aligned with the tone and vision of our catalog.
We are most interested in authors whose work feels intentional, imaginative, and market-aware.
Please be prepared to provide:
Every submission is reviewed for overall fit, voice, genre alignment, and publishing potential. Because we are building a focused list, we are selective about the projects we pursue.
Due to submission volume, we may not be able to respond to every inquiry. If your project appears to be a strong fit, we will reach out with next steps.
