I'm a member of Writer'sDigest.com and I found this notification
on one of my many, frequent emails.  I don't have specifics but you can
probably suss them out.  Good luck.

3 BOOK PUBLISHERS OPEN TO NOVELS
WritersMarket.com lists hundreds of book publishers for writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, writing for children, and more. Here are three looking for novel submissions:

DAW Books, Inc. is one of the rare imprints of Penguin that does not require an agent to make submissions on behalf of writers. The editorial focus at DAW is science fiction and fantasy novels. The editors caution that nearly all their novels are more than 80,000 words long.

Milkweed Editions is a literary press based in Minnesota. In addition to novels, this press also publishes nonfiction and poetry. They're currently open to submissions through the end of September. After that, they'll re-open to submissions in January.

Grey Gecko Press is a small publisher that accepts about everything—except extreme horror, erotica, and religious fiction. If you're writing in those genres, this isn't the press for you. For everyone else, it might be a good fit. Prospective authors should submit a synopsis and the first three chapters.

Thank you Snow - that IS cool

    ANIMATION SCRIPTS WANTED

    ---------------
    Centrala - Seeking Animation Scripts with Poetic Style
    ---------------

    We are looking for completed feature-length animation scripts intended for a children's audience, i.e. ages approximately 7-12, but with a certain sensibility:  The type of animation style we like is "Up" and the Hayao Miyazaki films.  We are NOT looking for a fast-paced, lighthearted comedy like "Kung Fu Panda," "Megamind" or even "The Incredibles."  Rather, the tone and pace should be more poetic, introspective and mature while still targeted for a young audience.

    We are not afraid of difficult subjects in the story.  Also, we prefer stories that allow for more fantastical journeys or worlds.

    Budget is open.  Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit.

    Our credits include "Ve stinu."

    TO SUBMIT:
    1. Please go to www.InkTippro.com/leads
    2. Enter your email address (you will be signing up for InkTip's newsletter - FREE!)
    3. Copy/Paste this code: 2hx9hwkq96
    4. You will be submitting a logline and synopsis only.

    IMPORTANT:  Please ONLY submit your work if it fits what the lead is looking for EXACTLY.

    If you aren't sure if your submission fits, please ask InkTip first.  Please mention you heard about this from Jeff Gund at INFOLIST.com and please email any questions to:
