[julesjones]

For those who haven't already seen it, Tor.com have just announced that they're starting an imprint for speculative fiction novellas, 17,500 words and up. Primarily digital, selected titles taken to print. Open to unsolicited unagented submissions until end of August.

Announcement at http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/05/announcing-torcom-the-imprint

Submission guidelines at http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/05/torcom-imprint-submissions-guidelines

Important points:

We will be considering unsolicited, unagented submissions for the next three months, and will close submissions at the end of August. Any unsolicited submissions after that point will be summarily disregarded. We ARE accepting agented submissions throughout this period.

We have worked hard ensure that our contracts are as streamlined and author-friendly as possible, and will only include rights that can be immediately utilized by the authors. Authors will be offered the option of receiving a traditional advance against net earnings or higher rates with no advance. Royalties for all formats will be based on net publisher receipts with no hidden deductions and will be paid quarterly.
