Join Sarabande's Editorial Panel — Manuscript Reader

Sarabande Books is seeking manuscript readers for poetry, essay, and short fiction. Each year, submissions to Sarabande’s annual prizes and open periods are read by a rotating panel of enthusiastic and highly-qualified manuscript readers in their respective genres. 

If you’re interested in joining our panel of readers, we invite you to inquire by completing the form below.

We are accepting readers on a rolling basis, so we recommend inquiring early! The inquiry form should take approximately ten minutes to complete.

This opportunity is open to any reader of the English language who does not and will not have a manuscript under consideration with Sarabande Books through 2024.
