Is your writing journey like mine?
Thousands of GREAT manuscripts are falling through the cracks.
7.13 Books is an independent press trying to do its small part to save a few literary gems.
Check out our novels and story collections, which have been well reviewed by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, San Francisco Chronicle, Buzzfeed, and elsewhere.
We are open now to submissions for publication in 2023 and beyond. We are only looking for writers who have not yet published a book of literary fiction. Due to the volume of submissions, we can’t respond to queries by email, from agents or authors.
Our titles have been raved about by the likes of Jami Attenberg, Devi Laskar, Brian Evenson, Heidi Durrow, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and more.
This year, we received nearly 400 submissions and could only pick a handful of titles to publish. Congrats to Jackson Bliss, Namrata Poddar, the late Jim Nawrocki (selected last year), and Tessa Yang! Their books will be published in 2022. Read more about their forthcoming books inside.
