Tips From the Editor
Introduce your book proposal with a cover letter. Make sure your submission is attached in a DOCX file. No Transgressive Lit. War writings should be decidedly anti-war in sentiment. Note that your manuscript will be judged on your first paragraph. Avoid expletives unless necessary to the character. All submissions are subjected to AI detectors. No simultaneous submissions. Multiple submissions are fine. No novels over 50K words! No Sci-Fi! We look for and expect high-quality and professionally edited literature. No marketing plan or social medium is required of any author.
