Please fill out the form completely, including a thorough marketing plan. Your submission is reviewed for both its quality and its marketability as the publisher invests significant capital in each project. We highly recommend you get your book proofread before sending it in—at very least put it through an editing software, like Grammarly. Your ability to actively promote your work and brand is an important consideration during the process. Please include any audience or following you have built for your name or brand and the platforms you use, if applicable.
In harmony with our company values, we reserve the right to remove any profanity, violence, graphic, and/or sexual content in any book accepted for publication. We recommend you remove this type of content before submitting your book to us.
After reviewing our guidelines, scroll to the bottom where you will find links for our current genre needs.
Read and follow the submission guidelines carefully to ensure your manuscript is not delayed and receives the attention you desire.
Due to our processes for evaluation, manuscripts must be submitted electronically. Please note: All physical submissions received will be discarded.
