What is Shenanigans Press?
Shenanigans Press is the Young Adult arm of Mischief Corner Books—where queer youth can find age appropriate representations of themselves. There isn't a queer youth out there that wouldn't love a story where they can find themselves the main protagonist of an exciting adventure, or a story where they learn about themselves.
Being able to have stories about queer youth is important for everyone in the community. To heal. To learn. To find family. These stories can help those trying to figure out where they belong or give them hope for the future.

General Submissions
General Submissions for queer fiction and romances will be considered with a well-written proposal. Stories that are off the beaten-track, diverse, and are a positive representation of queer culture will be prioritized. We want a well constructed story with a solid plot for the younger individuals in our community. We are looking for representation all along the queer spectrum, in all genres.
No simultaneous submissions, please, or submissions of stories currently carried or soon to be released with other publishers. This also includes previously published stories; only new stories will be considered. In addition, please do not send in multiple stories at once. Give us a chance to read your submission then send in your next one once we've gotten back to you.
MCB is a full-service publisher. We handle all the editing, covers and offer a three year contract. Contracts offered are royalty-paying contracts.
Series are something Mischief Corner Books will only consider after working with an author, so that we both know we are happy with the arrangement. In addition, any series will have to have a series proposal, arc, and timeline for completion.
Story lengths that will be considered are:
Novelette: 15K - 20K
Novella: 20K - 45K
