Does the publisher Simon & Schuster accept manuscript submissions?

Simon & Schuster does not accept manuscript submissions but some of their imprints do accept manuscript submissions from authors without the need for a literary agent.

This includes:

• Salaam Reads: an imprint that celebrates the joy and variety of Muslim life.

• Denene Millner Books: an imprint that publishes books speaking to the human experience of African American children.

• Affirm Press: a Melbourne-based division dedicated to publishing Australian stories.

Simon & Schuster UK also runs New Chapter, a prize for unagented writers of colour and Books and the City, an open submission day for prospective commercial women's fiction authors.
