This will change in the future - please subscribe to our newsletter and follow our social media accounts to stay informed.
Manuscript Submission Guidelines
- We want to publish full-length books; convention puts novels at approximately 50,000 words minimum, though word count can be flexible depending on genre.
- Novellas are not absolutely out of the question, but they must be marketable and of exceptional quality. Don’t get too hung up on word count alone.
- We are not interested in manifestos or political treatises from unknown persons; we prefer these to come from public figures with large followings.
- We obviously are not adverse to novels with an ideological bent, but please don’t think that fiction has to beat the reader over the head with ideology. Oftentimes less is more.
- Depictions of harsh language, violence, or sexual content should be done tastefully and with meaningful context.
- Children’s books should have illustrations already in them before submission.
Please fill out the form below and include a brief synopsis of the work. Our editor-in-chief will then reach out to you to request the manuscript, or with a few screening questions. Once we get the manuscript, our editorial team will take anywhere from 2-5 weeks to review it before coming to a decision. If we choose to take it on, we will assign an editor to work with you to finalize it, then take it through proofreading for another pair of eyes on the manuscript, followed by final formatting and cover design.
There is zero cost to authors: we are a traditional publisher and will carry all burdens, remitting royalties quarterly to our authors. However, that does mean that we need to be very selective with the books that we take on, evaluating for both content and general marketability.
