Submitting to Less Than Three Press
To submit a story to Less Than Three Press, send an email to submissions@lessthanthreepress.com. Include the following in your email:
- Put SUBMISSIONS in the subject line! Emails without this subject line or sent to another email address (for example, the administrator email address) run the risk of not being seen or read, so please, do not forget this!
- Your contact name and preferred email address.
- The approximate total length of the completed story.
- Whether or not your story is complete.
- If your story is not complete, how much longer it will take to complete the story.
- A brief summary of the story, not to exceed approximately 200 words in length.
- Attach the complete manuscript in .doc, .docx, or .odt format.
Please note the following:
- Stories should be a minimum of 10,000 words and should not exceed 200,000 words. At present, we are looking primarily for stories in the 35,000—60,000 range, but we will not discount longer works out of hand. Stories that are 10,000—35,000 will be considered for publishing as ebooks only. The only exception is if you are writing for an anthology.
- Your manuscript does not need to be complete at the time of submission to be considered, but if accepted, the story will not be published until Less Than Three Press has a completed manuscript.
- Please do not send queries, outlines, or proposals for stories that you have not yet written.
- Less Than Three Press will not consider manuscripts currently under submission to another publisher or anonymous writings.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send them to editor@lessthanthreepress.com.
