Submissions

Submission Guidelines

We charge a £250 assessment fee to read your manuscript and provide detailed, professional feedback. This assessment will confirm whether the work is suitable for publication and, if so, what editorial development it will require.

When submitting, please include a synopsis and sample chapters. If we decide to proceed beyond assessment, we will then request both a printed and digital copy of the full manuscript.

Please note: we do not offer traditional publishing contracts unless an author has an established readership, proven book sales, or a significant and relevant social media following as an author or public figure.

All submissions must include a covering letter and the manuscript. The covering letter should clearly state:

The title of the work
A brief description of the book
An author biography

Submissions that do not include both a description of the work and an author bio will not be read.

Printed manuscripts should be submitted on A4 paper, single-sided, using Arial font, size 12, double-spaced, with clear margins. Manuscripts must be thoroughly proofread before submission.

Our editors do not review manuscripts submitted electronically at the first stage. Initial submissions must be provided in printed form only. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, a digital copy will then be requested.

If you have been previously published, please list your titles in your covering letter.

Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope with sufficient postage if you would like your manuscript returned should it not be accepted. Alternatively, ensure a valid postal or email address is provided so we can respond. We will always confirm our decision and provide constructive feedback.

If your manuscript is under consideration by other publishers, please let us know. Do not submit more than one manuscript at a time unless we have specifically requested additional work.

Important: if you have access to specific audiences, markets, media exposure, or promotional opportunities relevant to your book, include this information in your covering letter. This can strengthen your submission.

Finally, while we accept submissions at various stages of development, we do not publish manuscripts that have not been professionally edited, proofread, and formatted. If these services are required and we agree to publish the work, the associated costs will be the responsibility of the author. Details of these services are available via our sister company, FCM.
