SUBMISSIONS
| SUBMISSION GUIDELINES | |
| First: | Send either a few pages or the entire manuscript, as an e-mail attachment. Send the attachment as a Microsoft document. It does not have to be double spaced. |
| Second: | Do not send pdf files. We may want to make annotations and corrections in the manuscript |
| Third: | Use conventional paragraph spacing. Do not use two spaces between a period and the next sentence. |
| Fourth: | Please do not clutter your submission with blank pages, copyright pages, etc. We receive a great many submissions, and even that bit of time spent finding the beginning of a book or novel is valuable. If your ms. is accepted we will format it appropriately and insert any blank pages that may be needed. |
| Fifth: | Use the old, conventional method of inserting your name and address (especially your email address) at the top of the first page, to the left. Enter the name of the novel, word count, etc. to the right. Begin your ms. halfway down the same page. We may want to save your submission in our document files and examine it at a later date. |
| Sixth: | Make your synopsis short, about 300 words. |
| Seventh: |
Enter the name of the novel or work in the subject line of the email. |
| Eighth: | We would rather not see any more fantasy or science fiction novels, or any novels in which the main ingredients are drugs, murder, rape, etc., unless your novel is a mainstream murder or suspense mystery. |
