NOVEL SUBMISSIONS

​

Level Best Books is currently OPEN to both agented and unagented submissions.

 

Level Best Books is actively seeking well-crafted mystery novels that complement our existing catalogue. We are particularly interested in traditional mysteries, police procedurals, cozies, noir, and other crime fiction driven by strong characters, compelling plots, and a clear sense of place. Submissions should emphasize mystery over graphic content; we do not accept horror or erotica. Stories with originality, emotional depth, and series potential are especially welcome.

 

We are currently scheduling new acquisitions for publication in late 2027 into 2028.
