Case Study: North Dakota State University Press achieves streamlined manuscript submissions and robust double‑blind peer review with Submittable

North Dakota State University Press - Customer Case Study

North Dakota State University Press, a university imprint publishing peer‑reviewed regional scholarship since 1950, needed a reliable way to collect and manage diverse book and chapbook submissions while preserving a double‑blind review process. Since 2015 the press has used Submittable to accept year‑round general fiction and nonfiction manuscripts and to run a special late‑summer poetry reading period tied to its regional focus.

Submittable provided an end‑to‑end submissions platform with configurable reading periods and a reviewer database to support double‑blind reviews and reviewer matching. Using Submittable, North Dakota State University Press streamlined submission intake and reviewer management, sustained its peer‑review workflow, and supported new initiatives like The Contemporary Voice of Indigenous Peoples Series and the Heritage Guide Series.
