Solaris launches digital-first imprint, Solaris Nova
17th November 2023
Solaris has launched a brand new digital-first imprint, Solaris Nova, focusing on uniquely punchy and fast-paced science fiction, fantasy and horror that invites readers to see the world differently and keep them reading 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 the imagination. We’re especially looking for writers from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.
Headed by editor Amy Borsuk, Solaris Nova seeks to expand upon Solaris’s diverse and inclusive list to offer agented and unagented writers from all backgrounds a bespoke and boutique publishing experience. We offer authors a 50% of net revenue royalty on every eBook sold, and a 20% of net revenue royalty of every print on demand book sold.
In addition to seeking out new voices, Solaris Nova will also be the home of a selection of backlist Solaris titles, with the first to be published in February 2024.
Submissions are now open. Agented submissions can be sent direct to novasubmissions@rebellion.co.uk, whilst unagented submissions should be submitted through the form on Solaris’ website: https://rebellionpublishing.com/solaris-nova/
Required supporting documents include cover letter, synopsis and full manuscript.
Editor Amy Borsuk on the launch:
“I’m so excited to be launching our new digital-first imprint, Solaris Nova! Nova is going to be a wonderful opportunity for our team to build new relationships with innovative and diverse authors of scifi, fantasy and horror, and to bring these compelling stories to a wide-reaching audience of avid readers. We can’t wait to take this grand step into digital publishing and harness the greater reach it provides for authors and readers alike.”
Rebellion CEO and Creative Direction Jason Kingsley OBE:
“Solaris has been going from strength to strength, we have a roster of bestsellers and prize winners, and we’re delighted to be bringing that expertise, talent and enthusiasm to the digital sphere with Solaris Nova.”
