Calls for Manuscripts: Partner with Realm of the Evergreen
We’re looking for thoughtful, timeless works. Submit your manuscript or project idea for consideration.
✅Submission Overview
Realm of the Evergreen is an independent literary media studio. We publish original works that begin as Seeds (written manuscripts), and may take Root (as audio) and Bloom (as visual essays or films). We welcome submissions from writers whose projects reflect our values of clarity, depth, and enduring craft.
If you have a manuscript or concept you believe belongs in the Evergreen archive, we invite you to submit it for consideration. All submissions undergo a thorough internal review process. We respond to submissions that align with our current editorial focus and creative bandwidth. We accept both finished manuscripts and early-stage proposals.
📚What We’re Looking For
✦ What kinds of projects do we publish?
Earth - Deep nonfiction (philosophy, spirituality, cultural ideas)
Air - Speculative fiction (sci-fi, visionary works)
Water - Epic fantasy and immersive world-building
Fire - Literary or emotional fiction grounded in character and truth
✦ What do we value in submissions?
Thoughtfulness over trendiness
Language with depth and clarity
Projects that invite slow engagement and reflection
Integrity of voice and vision
✦ What is our publishing model?
We are not a traditional publisher or a freelance agency. We collaborate with authors to develop ideas across media formats, starting from your manuscript and potentially growing into audiobooks or visual storytelling. This is not a service model; it's a partnership. We only publish a small number of carefully selected works each year. While we appreciate each submission, only selected works will receive project proposals.
🤝Submission Details + Expectations
✦ Do you accept unsolicited submissions?
Yes. If your project aligns with our ethos, we’d love to see it. Use the form above to submit.
✦ What happens after I submit?
Our editorial team will review your submission. If your project is a strong fit, we’ll reach out to discuss next steps. While we may not be able to respond to all submissions, we review each one with care.
✦ What formats can I submit?
We accept:
Finished manuscripts (Word or PDF)
Proposals with a sample (3–5k words)
Links to published or performed work if relevant
A cover letter or short intent statement (included in the form)
✦ Are there fees?
No. There is no fee to submit or publish. This is a curated publishing partnership, not a paid service.
