South West publishing group seeking submissions

NEW and seasoned writers across the south west are invited to submit their work to the Somerset literary group - Axe River Books.

Until the end of January, Axe River Books is requesting submissions of literary fiction that embodies the richness of the region, from writers or manuscripts connected to the south west.

The company is accepting long-form prose fiction, or any genre with a “literary edge” from both emerging writers and seasoned storytellers. Novellas, short stories, poetry and illustrated books are not accepted for submission at this time.
