Guidelines
Only
submit finished works please. We don't
want to wait for you to complete your novel if
we're excited about your initial submission.
Word counts are to be approximately 25,000 words
for novellas, 70-80,000 words for full length
novels. Be sure to proof read your manuscript
thoroughly. Your manuscript should be double
spaced, New Times Roman 12 point, with one inch
borders. No footers or headers, but please
include contact information on the top line of
each attachment, so that we are able to contact
you should your submission get separated from
your query letter.
We
no longer take simultaneous submissions, so
please do not submit your manuscript to us if
you have sent it elsewhere.
Your
submission package must include the
following:
1)
A professional query letter which includes the
title of your novel, word count, genre, a brief
biography and your contact information. Include
this in the body of your email.
2)
A synopsis of your book that describes the story
from beginning to end. Please keep it to
2-3 pages in length. Attach it to your
email in RTF format. Please give your
synopsis an appropriate title, not simply
'synopsis'. ie: Synopsis-The Winner.
3)
First three chapters, saved in RTF format and
attached to your email. Please name your partial
manuscript appropriately, ie: Partial-The
Winner.
4)
A promotional plan, showing short term and long
term goals. While your submission won't be won
or lost on the basis of this 'plan', it will get
you thinking about what you can do to help
promote your novel. Saved in RTF format and
attached to your email.
