Hello there from Astoria, Queens,
The Ottoline Book Prize is open – we look forward to reading your manuscripts!
The deadline is May 31st.
During our most recent Ottoline reading period, Jason Zuzga and I chose two manuscripts to publish, one by Amanda Deutch (forthcoming in Fall/Winter 2025), and another by Stella Santamaría (forthcoming Fall/Winter 2026). We are now on a two-year cycle for the submissions window opening to publication, which was one of our goals for Fence Books.
Please also check out Jennifer Nelson’s On the Way to the Paintings of Forest Robberies, still hot-off-the-press! We selected this book as the winner of the 2024 Ottoline Prize. I recommend Phantom Captain by Kim Rosenfield as well, which was the last book that Rebecca Wolff selected for the Ottoline Prize before passing on editorial leadership of Fence.
You’ll see all of the how-to’s and more below. Note that the reading fee includes a two-issue subscription or renewal to Fence!
We look forward to reading your manuscripts.
Warmth and solidarity,
Emily Wallis Hughes
Editorial Co-Director of Fence magazine & Fence Books
