Submissions
We accept submissions directly from authors and agents. We are only interested in publishing works of unique literary fiction, and many of our submissions come from existing author referrals. There is no charge for submitting and we will read and get back to you as soon as possible. There is also no charge for publishing. We are not a hybrid press.
Process
Before you submit, we encourage you to sign up for our e-newsletter and we'll send you our pdf: "Top Ten Areas for Improvement When Writing Fiction." This has been compiled after evaluating thousands of submissions over many years and could help you get past our first screening.
When ready to make your submission, please email us at [email protected] the following:
- Jacket or selling copy for your work. Why would a reader want to read it?
- Information about you that would assist with book publicity.
- The first ten pages of your work pasted into the body of the email.
How Long?
Please allow about one month for us to get back to you. Sometimes we are faster, sometimes slower. If you have not heard from us within two months, please send us a reminder email. Thanks for your patience as we are busy editing current projects while trying to keep up with submissions.
Our "No Alas Rejection" Guarantee
We know you work hard in submitting the best possible material. This is why we promise to offer the best possible feedback should we decide not to work with you. In particular, we offer a 100% No Alas Guarantee, which means you will never, ever, encounter the word "alas" in a rejection letter from Publerati.
