Please upload a Word file or a PDF file of a chapter-by-chapter summary and your first 50 pages. At this point in the process, please do not send your entire manuscript. We welcome your biography as well.

We charge a $35 submission fee in order to assess whether or not your work is ready for publication. For this fee you will get a one-page assessment of your work, and we will place you on the Red or Yellow track, indicating whether we will continue to consider your manuscript. If put on Yellow, your manuscript will continue to be considered and you will get a follow-up email indicating whether or not you will be receiving a contract, how publish-ready we think your work is, and what season we will take your project on. This is part of our vetting process, which we strongly believe will ensure the quality of your project and our ongoing list.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
