Rhiza Press Submissions

Rhiza Press: Adult submissions will open in August 2025. We will be open until the end of September, so work on your pitch now!

Rhiza Press releases from 2026 and beyond will be produced international in print, ebook and audio. We are very excited to restart our adult list.

We publish clean reads. These can be faith-based but this is not a requirement of our list. Historically, we have published some faith-based stories and we will still look for these as well. However, clean can include chick lit, crime, historical and new adult.

Length of stories

30,000-50,000 for shorter readers.

50,000-80,000 for mid-size

80,000-120,000 for full-length adult.

To submit a pitch

Follow the Google form on our blog. 

  • A full synopsis and pitch as to why the world needs your book
  • A minimum of two chapters of the book
  • Your full return details (i.e. name, address). These must also be included on the pages of your manuscript.
  • If you have not completed the manuscript when you submit, please include a timeline of your writing with your submission
  • Feedback from any editors you have worked with is welcome

Please send the query via our submission form. 

 

What are we looking for?

We are open to ideas!

The best way to know what we like would be to read some of our previous books. Most are available at your local library, on digital services and in local bookstores.
