At this time Tightrope Books is no longer accepting unsolicited submissions in any category aside from fiction.

ABSOLUTELY NO SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

Before submitting make sure that your work is a good fit for Tightrope and that Tightrope’s mandate and mission are in line with your own values regarding your work.
If you have questions regarding a manuscript you have already sent, or feel that you have a manuscript that suits our mandate, please send a query letter to Shirarose Wilensky at shirarose@tightropebooks.com.

Please be patient. It can take us as long as 6 months to a year to evaluate a manuscript.

We do not publish self-help books or religious books. We will only accept genre fiction (sci-fi, erotica) if it is outside the usual mold of the genre. We are especially looking for young writers who have a fresh take on the urban scene.

Tightrope Books does not accept simultaneous submissions.

Artwork Submissions:
Tightrope Books encourages artists to submit work for possible consideration for our covers. We may also commission work for projects based on submissions. Please remember that we only do a limited number of books annually, so spaces are limited. However, we will keep samples of work on file for future seasons. We are currently only accepting submissions from Canadian artists. Please send all submissions to:
