Authors
We are always looking for new authors to publish. If you would like to discuss our publishing your work please either submit a preliminary enquiry by completing the form on this page or follow the guidelines below.
We publish both fiction and non-fiction.
We publish new works and will consider reissuing previously published works that are out of print.
Submission guidelines:
Please send:
A synopsis of the work and include in that any information you think might be relevant about potential level of reader interest.
At least the first three chapters/20 pages/5,000 words (as appropriate). You can also send the full manuscript if that has been completed.
A brief biography.
As a guide the finished manuscript should typically be between 70,000 and 110,000 words in length. If your work falls, or is likely to fall, wildly outside of this, please contact us before submission.
Please ensure your submission is your best draft and that you have used available grammar and spellchecking tools before submission (for example, those in MS Word). Complete or partial manuscripts that contain too many basic errors will not be reviewed.
Manuscripts should be written in British or US English.
Do not typeset your work or apply any complex formatting (page numbers, bold, italics etc. are fine). Please ensure that you have not added any extra lines between paragraphs – except for new sections, when we would recommend *** or a motif to signify that this space is intentional. Page breaks should be inserted page breaks, not masses of returns…
All manuscripts must be in MS Word or Rich Text Format (RTF). No other format will be accepted, including PDFs & hard copies.
