Here are descriptions of the Manuscript Content sections you will be asked to fill in:
Your “Brief Description” in the first box should be about 150-200 words.
The “Author Bio (with any marketing info) ” blurb in the second box should be about 50-75 words. This box is intended to briefly tell us more about you and who you see as the potential market for your book.
We’ll then ask you for an "Expanded Synopsis" that tells our editors more about the manuscript so they have enough information to do the evaluation (approximately 500 words):
- If your manuscript is fiction, we ask you to give us a synopsis of your entire fiction story (i.e. plot, spiritual take-away, character arc, how conflict is resolved, how it ends, etc.).
- If your manuscript is non-fiction, we ask you to submit a basic outline or an expanded table of contents (approximately 500 words). Basically we need you to provide a brief sentence or two of what each chapter is designed to convey under each Contents page heading.
- If it is a children’s manuscript (1000 words or less), you can include the entire manuscript (no illustrations needed at this juncture).
And Finally...
Finally, we allow you to cut and paste up to three sample chapters of your book to upload.
We suggest you consider getting these materials written, organized, and ready before you click to start, so you can expedite the submission process.
Please note that photos, drawings or illustrations are NOT permitted or necessary to include. We evaluate content only and, if approved, it will be your publisher that will ask for any illustrations or photos.
Upon successful completion of payment, you’ll receive a confirmation of your manuscript and payment. Your manuscript will then be assigned an editor. Please allow 30 days for your manuscript to be reviewed. If you haven’t heard from your editor by that time, please feel free to contact us.
