You’ve put your heart and soul into writing your manuscript, and now you want to see it in print and derive income from it. Our job is to make both happen for you, but yours isn’t done yet. It’s important that you present your work in a format we can use efficiently and effectively. The sheer volume of manuscripts we receive makes this imperative.

Everyone knows about the infamous slush pile, the place where you do not want your submission to wind up. If you want your manuscript to grab our attention for the right reasons, follow these guidelines.

SUBMITTING YOUR WORK

We’ve made the process for submitting your work easy. All you need to do is complete a form, available on each of our genre submission pages listed below (fiction, nonfiction, children’s/YA, and photography/illustration) on Saturdays, which will give us all the pertinent information we need to evaluate your submission. However, our submission boxes are currently closed. Please note, until we open up our submissions  again, any queries sent to us through our contact form will not be reviewed

When the form is available, you’ll see that we request all the salient elements typically found in a query letter: the title, premise, length of the manuscript, your writing background, and your long-term writing plans. This means that we do not require a query letter (though you are welcome to submit one in addition to filling out the form, if you so choose). We also request a one-page synopsis of the work that details the plot and theme of the story and the first fifty pages or first three chapters of your manuscript.​

If we’re intrigued by what we see, we’ll request additional material from you. Based on your initial query letter, synopsis, and sample chapters, our office may request your manuscript in its entirety.

Please be sure to keep an eye out here and on our social media. We will often request specific topics and categories based on what we are hearing from readers and publishers.
