Authors
Per Aspera generally seeks outstanding book-length manuscripts. We specifically look for novels which are built around a big idea or develop a deep theme, and which make a significant contribution to the speculative fiction genre.
However, we are currently restarting after an
extended hiatus and are closed to unsolicited
manuscript and art submissions. At this time, if you send a query or
a manuscript without having been asked to send it, nobody will read
it.
Publishing Professionals
As we get back on our feet, we may need help from a variety of experienced people. Thus we are building a list of publishing professionals who would like to be considered for freelance work or just want to stay abreast of Per Aspera news—editors, publicists, proofreaders, artists, designers, marketers, reviewers, booksellers, other publishers, agents, etc. And yes, writers too—professional writers. If you would like to be on this list, send us email
