Have you written fiction too long for a short story and too short for a novel? Orca Books of Victoria, BC publishes that kind of thing in its Rapid Reads series. Here are their guidelines:
-Plots should involve contemporary, straightforward stories using a linear narrative format (little or no use of flashbacks) and the action should take place over a relatively short time frame.
-12,000—20,000 words
-Written in simple language with limited use of complex sentences and multiple clauses.
-A small cast of characters is most effective.
-Your initial submission should include a brief synopsis, a sample chapter, a detailed chapter outline and an author biography.
-Send submissions to the attention of Ruth Linka, Associate Publisher.
Orca Books is also open to submissions of non-fiction and of various kinds of books for children and young people. More info at:
