Hub City Writers Project - Writers' Space

Submissions

Our publications committee looks for literary or nonfiction books with a strong sense of place. We review manuscript proposals in March and September and have a particular interest in books from Upstate South Carolina.

Donate to Hub City

More than 300 people each year make a contribution to support the Hub City Writers Project. These donations are tax deductible. With a contribution of $100 or more, we send you the year’s lead title in hardback and list you in the front of the book as a sponsor. Please consider supporting Hub City this year.

Writers' Space

The authors featured here are just a few of the nearly 200 writers we have published since the first Hub City book was released in 1996. While most live in the Upstate, others are spread out across the country.
