What We’re Looking For

We are looking for stories that invite readers to see the world differently and imagine other possibilities beyond our world. We are looking for those stories we want to read late into the night. We want to be drawn in by romance, mystery, the thrilling escape. We want our books to reflect the diverse world we live in and push the boundaries of imagination. Our Solaris Nova books are uniquely punchy and fast-paced, and make us want to read more, to compulsively reach for the next one.

Our Authors

Solaris, its imprints and Solaris Nova are committed to championing diverse voices and are passionate about inclusion and equity in all aspects of our publishing. We welcome and encourage submissions from writers of all backgrounds and are keen to see submissions from authors traditionally underrepresented in publishing.
