Manuscript Submission
Follow guidelines exactly. Following these guidelines is a test.
Failing means an automatic rejection. We want high quality work submitted. |
![]() We recommend using Grammarly prior to submitting your manuscript to any publisher.
|
We expect first rights, including digital rights. We do not accept anything which has been published previously in any format, anywhere, in any language.For manuscripts, we prefer not receiving simultaneous submissions.
We accept most genres - except none with graphic sexual and/or violence material (violence must not be used for shock value, and language must not be overly profane or vulgar - must be appropriate to character and a sample rather than constant, no form of the "f" word, no use of God's name or Jesus' name or any form thereof). We do not accept stories about bodily functions (bathroom humor) or writings that degrade people. We reserve the right to reject subject matter that doesn't meet our needs or standards. |
We accept authors from the U.S.A., the UK, and Australia because the company that prints our books has plants in those countries. Shipping costs to other countries is too great for us to pay. Until such time as our printer has a facility in Canada, we can NOT accept authors from Canada UNLESS they have relatives in the U.S. where books could be shipped without paying Canada's huge import fees.
NOTE: We cannot accept authors from Canada unless the author finds a solution to the shipping problem. Cost of shipping books, due to Canadian fees, is extremely expensive. |
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Submissions must be thoroughly edited, proofed, and revised. We suggest authors run manuscripts through grammarly.com, at least the free or trial version, before final revision for submission. Grammarly is not 100% correct at all times, but it does find most problems, including passive voice. Critique groups, English teachers, and authors known by submitter are all good sources of editing help.
|
NOTE: Manuscript submissions for Children's Books are closed UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Submissions are OPEN for: Tweens & Teens, Young Adult, Fiction, Nonfiction, Biblical Based. Submissions are wanted especially for Science Fiction, Fantasy, New Adult, Fiction, Romance (NO EROTICA), and Nonfiction. |
