"New journals released! Write plans for your company, take notes at meetings and gift loved ones. Check them out now."

Greetings and congratulations on reaching the Book Publishing Guidelines Page! This page has been designed to provide you with valuable insights on getting your masterpiece published. Are you prepared to make a powerful entrance into the publishing world? If so, here’s what you need to know: Please submit your work via email with the subject line “Submission From Author.” Remember to attach your manuscript in Microsoft Word 2003 or a compatible program, single-spaced in either Times New Roman or Courier New fonts, with a font size of 11 pt. Additionally, don’t forget to include a cover letter in the body of the email. You are also required to email or mail (on a USB or SD card) a high-resolution professional photo of yourself, preferably a headshot against a white background, in PNG or JPEG format. Provide us with your contact information (full name, phone number, email, and home address), author bio, book summary, and social media links, along with any other relevant details.

 

Now, let’s delve into what we’re seeking: a fresh and creative voice, an innovative idea, and an author who is willing to collaborate with our exceptional team to create the best possible book. We are particularly interested in authors who aspire to make a meaningful impact through their writing and are prepared to invest effort both before and after their book is published. Our publishing scope encompasses fiction, non-fiction, poetry, autobiography, psychological thrillers, and various other genres for adults and young adults.

 

However, please note that we do not accept submissions that fall into the erotic category or glorify illegal acts such as rape, incest, polygamy, and similar subjects that depict the aggressor as a hero or someone deserving of honor. We believe in upholding ethical and responsible publishing practices.

 

Alright then, let’s embark on this exciting journey between publisher and author! To initiate the submission process, kindly email us with the subject line “Submission From Author.” Remember to attach your manuscript, ensure it adheres to the formatting guidelines mentioned earlier, and include the necessary details such as your contact information, author bio, book summary, and social media links. Additionally, please provide a signed copy of the contract, a high-resolution professional photo of yourself, preferably a headshot on a white background in PNG or JPEG format, and details regarding your method of payment (PayPal, Stripe, CashApp).

 

We are enthusiastic about discovering new voices and captivating ideas. Feel free to explore our website to learn more about our current portfolio and the types of books, journals, and magazines we typically publish. We accept adult fiction and non-fiction across various genres, as well as young adult fiction in most genres.
