on Publishing … and Other Forms of Insanity:
Random House Canada is excited to open our submission policy exclusively to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC writers, as well as those from other traditionally underrepresented communities. Effective immediately, unsolicited and unagented work can be sent directly to our editors within the RHC division.
Our hope is that this will go a small way toward removing some of the barriers that have existed for writers developing their craft outside of traditional avenues of literary exposure.
.
The submissions inbox is open to writers from anywhere.
.
What We’re Looking For In particular, our editors are looking for high quality commercial fiction in the following genres: literary, romance, speculative fiction, historical fiction, and mystery. Please note that we do not currently accept screenplays, stage plays, young adult fiction, children’s fiction, or picture book queries. All non-fiction submissions must be submitted via a literary agent.
For a full manuscript, there are no strict restrictions on length. As a guideline, fiction manuscripts often fall between 70,000 and 100,000 words (or up to 120,000 words for speculative fiction).

Aren’t grumpy old white men an under-appreciated group these days? We need a GOWM publisher!
I don’t even know what LGBTQIA2S+ means. Heck, maybe I fit in one of those letters.

As an older straight white male I think I have become an underrepresented community.
