Our Roadmap for 2025-2026
It’s getting very exciting over here at Wild Hunt Books HQ. At the moment, we’re open to submissions for our new publishing venture, The Northern Weird Project. But we also have a few other things planned that I hope interest you as much as it does for us!
The Northern Weird Project: A pocket-sized book series of 5-6 titles from authors living in the North of England who are also engaging in the North as setting, subject, character or any way that highlights this part of the country.
New acquisitions: Our goal is to acquire 1-3 new standalone novels in 2025/26. This will either be from an open submission period or acquired via agents.
Horror Anthology: This one is particularly exciting! We plan to release a horror anthology with a guest editor. All the writing featured will be by trans and/or non-binary authors. Please be on the lookout for this project! The guest editor will be acquiring to their taste but we hope there will be a couple of spots open to unsolicited submissions.
Expand Into Audio: We love audiobooks! (And I think many readers do, too.) However, producing an audiobook is super cost-prohibitive for small publishers. We will actively look into grants or other funding options so we can record and offer our books as audiobooks.
Attend Events: There are so many amazing author/book festivals in the UK but we haven’t been able to attend any. We’re hoping to change that so you can reach out to us directly and learn more about our company and promote our authors. Let us know what you’re favourite events in the UK are!
