The submission window for our second anthology closes in two weeks. Friday 13th March. That’s it. If you’ve been sitting on a poem, a short story, or an essay — and wondering whether to send it to us — this is the moment to stop wondering.
Margin to Margin (working title) will be our second multi-community collection, following I Zig and I Zag, and will be published in late 2026. We’re looking for poetry, narrative fiction, and personal essays from writers whose communities sit at the edges of what English-language literature usually notices. Not work about that experience, written for a mainstream audience. Work from inside, written for the people who live there.
We launched M2M Books in 2024 with a clear conviction: that marginalised communities deserve their own internal libraries — literature that offers solace, resilience, and intellectual armour, neither explanation nor apology. That conviction has not changed. The importance of our mission has been recognised this month in our shortlisting for the 2026 London Book Fair Trailblazer Awards. But nominations do not build libraries. Writers do.
If your work is ready; edited, redrafted, as good as you can make it; we want to read it.
Read M2M Books submission guidelines and FAQs, then send your manuscript to info@m2mbooks.com
Deadline: Friday 13th March 2026.
We’re waiting.
