Characters that live, have a “voice”, have real relationships and emotions, even in extreme situations.Confident, capable writing that’s been properly polished.We offer advances and royalties appropriate for a medium-sized publisher of good standing.īeyond all of this, what we’re really looking for in your writing is this: We also do not contract any work-for-hire titles. If your work has already been published, even just as a self-published or ebook-only release, we cannot accept your proposal. We also require eBook rights as standard, have a great Rights team who’ve secured translation deals for many of our titles, and produce audiobooks in-house. This means that we generally expect to acquire World English Language rights for any title we publish, and will not be able to buy a book with US/UK/Commonwealth rights only, except in very rare cases. The vast majority of our titles are published in all English-language territories, notably the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, and most of our sales come from the USA. We are not looking for any specifically junior, teenage or YA titles – the only exception is books which could be considered YA-crossover, at home in the SFF/Horror section of a bookstore as readily as in the YA section.Īlthough based in the UK, we publish internationally, with our titles being distributed worldwide by PenguinRandomHouse. We currently only publish books for adult audiences – that is books which feature adult themes, situations and “language”, usually with adult protagonists. We also have a particular love for ‘genrefluid’ SFF/H, which messes around with and mashes genres together. hard SF, space opera, cyberpunk, military SF, alternate future history, future crime, time travel, and more.
We’re looking for all types of sub-genre, e.g. We are not looking to publish short works such as novellas, short stories, short story collections, poetry or plays, graphic novels, or non-fiction at this time.Īll our books are “genre” fiction in one way or another – specifically science fiction, fantasy, and horror. We currently only publish novels (think 60k+ words), whether standalone or as part of greater series.
We make publishing decisions based on the quality and commercial viability of the works submitted to us for consideration, and not on the personal backgrounds of the authors. The dates during which we hold this vary from year-to-year, so please keep an eye on our website and our social media channels, where these dates will be announced with plenty of notice.Īngry Robot is absolutely committed to the publication of works by writers of all genders, ethnicities, colour, orientation, nationalities and religious beliefs. The only time we relax this rule is during our Open Doors Submission period, when we accept unagented proposals. If you do not have an agent, we cannot accept a proposal from you. We do not currently accept proposals from unagented authors.

Please read this blog post for the full details. We are currently accepting un-agented submissions from Black authors. See below for more about what we’re looking for.

We typically estimate 10 weeks to read and respond to a proposal more if you’ve attached a full manuscript. Your agent should read the guidelines below, then send us an email via, or query us through our contact page. I’m totally excited to see more games using the 3.4 engine, and you likely will be too after giving Angry Bots a try.Novel Proposals 1. It’s not very difficult, but it’s not supposed to be a game, it’s a tech demo. If you manage to die, the game takes hints from BioShock and spawns you at the nearest Vita Chamber-like point.ĭespite the (hopefully tongue in cheek) name, Angry Bots is actually really cool. It’s a dual stick shooter that has a bit of a Dead Space vibe to it with your health bar on the back of your character. Unity’s answer is Angry Bots which unlike Epic Citadel is much more game-like.

Thankfully, Unity just released a totally free tech demo similar to Epic’s Epic Citadel surrounding the release of the Unreal Engine on iOS devices. Admittedly, reading feature lists for an engine isn’t the best way to get an idea of what it’s capable of, especially if you’re not already intimately familiar with it as a developer. Last week we post about all the latest advancements of the Unity 3.4 engine.
