SUBMISSIONS
We recommend to the authors who decide to submit their works to Alondra Press that they make sure they are submitting their manuscripts in the best form they are capable of – that they not handicap themselves by submitting a work riddled with grammatical and typographical errors. On our part, in order to assist those writers as far as we are able, we invite them to send their work by email, in a MicroSoft document. In this age of modern technology, there is no longer any need to waste paper, ink and postage, or to wait several months for an acceptance or rejection. Send a very short synopsis – not more than 300 words – and a few pages of your novel or book. A book of not more than 75,000 words will have a better chance of acceptance by us. See the submissions guidelines below.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
First: Send either a few pages or an entire manuscript, as an e-mail attachment.
Send the attachment as a Microsoft document, single spaced.
Second: Do not send pdf files. We may want to make annotations in the manuscript
Third: Use conventional paragraph spacing. Do not use two spaces between a
period and the next sentence.
Fourth: Do not include blank pages.
Fifth: Include your name and e-mail address at the top of the first page, left corner,
above the title of the book, which will be in the center. We may want to
save your submission in our document files and examine it at a later date.
Sixth: Make your synopsis very short, not more than 300 words.
Seventh: Enter the name of the novel or work in the subject line of the e-mail.
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.
