Gay will oversee the selection process, while working alongside Grove’s executive editor Amy Hundley. I am excited to share that I am starting a publishing imprint, Roxane Gay Books in partnership with and my amazing editor /t8vzM1FPil The first call for submissions will go out this summer. Submissions both agented and unagented will be temporarily accepted, depending on the volume of manuscript pitches. The selected material will center underrepresented voices, and must classify as fiction, non-fiction, or memoir. According to The New York Times, Roxane Gay Books will operate in partnership with Grove Atlantic-a company Gay has maintained a working relationship with since 2014-to publish three titles a year.
