Brick Mantel Books is dedicated to publishing works of literary excellence by new and established authors.
We seek literary fiction that is character-driven, engaging, provocative, lyrical, and artistic, as well as out-of-the-ordinary work that fits our mission. We also publish contemporary, innovative poetry that pushes boundaries. In short, we publish work we have a deep connection to.
When submissions are open, we accept full-length novels (between 40,000 and 120,000 words) and poetry books (between 40 and 80 poems suggested). Chapbooks and novellas are not accepted. We are not currently accepting short story collections.
Please subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when we reopen, or check our Duosuma page (button below) to see if we've reopened. Please do not email us to inquire when submissions will be open or to submit your manuscript. Submissions will only be reviewed via Duosuma.
