Wundor Editions: Now Seeking Manuscript Submissions

Updated March 17th, 2020: They appear to be permanently closed.

A ‘wundor’is a miracle or a powerful feat of creativity. It is also a monster or a strange creature. It is an Old English word which runs the breadth of the artistic imagination and its unlimited potential.

“Wundor Editions is committed to publishing innovative and challenging literature and images, working with new and established writers and photographers. Our travel guides will offer inspiring ways to see the world.”

Wundor Editions is a UK-based publisher that accepts poetry, fiction, and photography. The fiction they publish is all literary, but they consider innovative genre work literary. They are best known for their city guides (which they are not open to submissions for). Their covers are impressive and they seem to have good distribution.

You can get a good feeling for what they publish by browsing their catalog here.

Poets that are interested in being published by them should submit 30 pages of material. The material must be PDF formatted. They should also include a brief biography of 100 words. There is no mention of a cover letter. Novelists must include a synopsis with their submission of 30 pages of material.  Photographers should first send an outline of their idea.

All submissions should be made via email address. Their full submission guidelines (although still rather sparse), and their submission email address are here.


Bio: Emily Harstone is the pen name of an author whose work has been published internationally by a number of respected journals. She is a professional submissions adviser and spends much of her time researching manuscript publishers. You can follow her on Facebook here.
