Submission Guidelines
We are looking to receive the beginnings of unfinished novels for inclusion in a collection tentatively scheduled for publication in Summer 2009. Please keep these submission guidelines in mind, as they may effect whether your submission is selected for publication.
1. This collection is about beginnings. If you have 300 pages of a 600 page novel finished, do not submit the entire work. While we do not have hard and fast restrictions on the number of pages, chapters, or words that can be submitted, we are targeting 25-30 printed pages per unfinished novel. A really great beginning may be selected even if it was only 5-10 pages long. We might stretch a selection or two out to 50 pages. However, as a general rule, aim for 25-30 pages and 7500 words.
2. We will consider most genres. We will not consider (a) erotic fiction (b) romance or (c) children’s stories. Fantasy novels, in the vein of Harry Potter are perfectly acceptable. However, do not sent us your take on the Curious George series. Fan fiction is not acceptable. Works based on characters owned by others are not acceptable under any circumstances.
3. We can accept electronic submission of PDF, MS Word and Wordperfect manuscripts. You can upload a submission up to 2 Mb in size directly to us. If your submission is in another format or is larger than 2 Mb, please visit our alternate submission page for instructions.
4. All submissions must be accompanied by a completed submission form and acceptance of the Terms and Conditions of submission. If you submit electronically, completing the web entry form will meet these requirments. If you use an alternate submission method, do not submit anything to us without these forms. We will not open, read or consider any material unless you have accepted the Terms and Conditions of submission.
5. All submissions should include a cover page clearly identifying the title of the work, the name, address and contact information of the author. Submit only your own work. The cover page must contain your copyright as an affirmation of your ownership of the work submitted.
6. You may submit as many different works as you desire. Please do not submit the same work more than once. The submission deadline is November 30, 2008. Do not expect to hear any response from us before that date.
7. You submission will automatically be saved and considered for any collections published within three years of the date of your submission. You will not need to resubmit the work for any future requests we make during that time period.
