As we continue to grow and expand our hybrid publishing efforts, we are hoping to add romance and thriller writers to our growing family of authors.
When it comes to book submissions for children's books, please ensure that the lead characters are people, not animals. We also welcome Middle Grade books that focus on adventure and mystery themes.
Please include the following information with your submission:
For Children’s Books - Your contact information, any previous publications, the full manuscript, and a sample of your illustrations. If this is your debut manuscript in the realm of self-publishing, please include other writing samples. *Please note in your submission if you will need illustrations.
For Middle Grade/Young Adult/Fiction - Your contact information, any previous publications, a summary of your work, the first three chapters of your manuscript, and the complete word count. If this is your debut manuscript, please include other writing samples.
*Please allow time to review all entries.
Publishing with Books & Things offers numerous options for book submissions. Keep in mind, you will still need to submit your manuscript before these options can proceed. If you have any questions, feel free to schedule a free inquiry call by clicking the button at the bottom of this page.
