They say they are no longer accepting fiction submissions. I don't know it's just for right now, or forever.

From website, it looks like Chicago Review Press is the nonfiction arm and Academy Chicago Publishers is fiction.

Their website states that they're closed to Fiction until January 1, 2018.

Despite listing themselves here as handling fantasy, their web site states:
"Note: We do not publish fantasy, sci-fi, short stories, novellas, or YA fiction."

I recently sent the requested material for a novel to the address given on the QT Overview, but it was returned, marked Return to Sender, Unable to Forward.

Their guidelins now say, "We generally do NOT publish: horror, science fiction, thrillers, cookbooks, self-help books, or books dealing with anything supernatural. Which means: do not send us manuscripts about teenage vampires, werewolves, or angels. We also do not publish young adult/children's books (other than classics)."

By and large, Academy Chicago does not publish books with explicit, gratuitous sex and violence; we no longer publish science fiction or thrillers, neither of which do very well for us. We do not publish cookbooks, self-help or books dealing with the supernatural--that is, anything to do with angels and life after death, although we do publish ghost stories; however, most of the latter which we do publish are classics. We do not publish horror or photography books, nor do we do children's books, other than children's classics. We do not have any Young Adult classification.

Snail mail query, Shadows Along the Zambezi, fiction, eco-action adventure, 130,700 wds; with synopsis, first 5 chapters, SASE and a news story about elephant slaughter, epitomising my reason for wanting to write this novel.
