Once we have a new release, this section will become a carousel featuring the new book covers, but you can always navigate our entire book collection by clicking on Our Books in the navigation menu at the top of the site.

Submissions

Dyslexicon accepts submissions year-round of adult books for adults with reading impairments only, although that definition can be broad. We do not publish anything other than adult books for adults with reading impairments. These are books that have to be carefully written, so we expect submitters to understand what we are seeking before submitting.

We will do our best to respond within a few weeks, but please do not follow up excessively; reading submissions takes a lot of time. Authors: do not submit via email unless submitting via Submittable’s portal poses an accessibility problem; our inbox is for correspondence only. Agents: you may send pitches via email.

Code of Conduct: Dyslexicon expects its authors and staff to be kind literary citizens within the industry and to conduct themselves with decency in the public sphere, which includes social-media profiles. We reserve the right to sever ties and contracts with authors or staff who target or harass others; use racist, homophobic, xenophobic, ableist, or otherwise derogatory remarks toward others in public media; publish external material that is harmful to others; or otherwise conduct themselves in a way that would reflect poorly on our press. Literary citizenship is important to us, and the literary community is small and tight-knit. We all need one another, and we rise by lifting others.

Christina Waltman lives just outside Boulder and is the executive editor of Dyslexicon. She is excited to read what you are writing, and she’s thrilled to be a forerunner of bringing Hi-Lo books of interest to adults, a long overdue market to increase accessibility for adult readers who have historically been overlooked.
