Submission Notes & Guidelines
- Submissions and unsolicited review copies do not guarantee acceptance or content inclusion.
- If your submission is accepted, you will need to provide either a retail copy or ARC (advance reader copy) of your book for review. Physical copies are always preferred, but eBook and NetGalley versions are acceptable.
- If the book you are submitting is a sequel or part of a series, please consider providing all relevant books from the series for consideration and inclusion in promotional imagery.
- Indie and digital-only authors should have professional quality covers and editing to be considered.
- Age demographics welcome: adult, new adult, young adult, and middle grade.
- Please allow 3-5 business days for response.
Books we love to read and feature:
- Thoughtful and challenging stories and perspectives
- Character driven action & adventure
- Diverse authors & character perspectives
- Stories with unique world-building
- Genre mashups
- Novellas
Stuff we tend to avoid:
- “Retellings” and “reimagined” takes on previously existing stories
- Self proclaimed “Message Free” stories
- Genre-clones of popular books or TV series
- Run-of-the-mill vampire/werewolf/witches/etc.
- Erotica (sexy stuff is fine, of course, as long as it’s not the primary focus of the novel)
- Horror of the splatter or torture variety
