Sydney-based publishing house Entirely Beautiful Books - the parent company of the well-respected Aussie poetry imprint Pitt Street Poetry - is proud to announce the launch of a new imprint for crime, mystery and detective stories: Cliff Street Crime! We will be accepting manuscripts for consideration from July 2025 and plan to publish our first books in the next twelve months, focusing on the global e-book market plus print-on-demand paperbacks. We’re looking for high quality, well written, addictive stories. If that sounds like you, drop us a line!
Submission Guidelines
Cliff Street Crime is currently open for submissions of new crime novels, detective stories and mystery books. Around 70-80,000 words is the sweet spot.
Even if you have a finished book, do NOT send us the full manuscript – instead carefully read and follow our submission guidelines:
All submissions must be sent to our submissions email address
submissions@cliffstreetcrime.com
Your submissions should include
1. The provisional title of the book and the name of the author
2. A brief biography of the author of 300 words or less
3. A one-page outline of the book of 1000 words or less
4. A completed first chapter, if you have one
(if not, the first three items will do)
You will receive an immediate if rather brief reply to say that your submission has been received.
We will do our best to respond to all submissions within 30 days of receipt. If you do not hear from us within 30 days it will be sensible (if sad) to assume that we are not that interested.
