Submit Your Manuscript<\/h1>\n

Thank you for considering Winter & Drew Publishing to help you self-publish your book. We accept manuscripts from all genres and are excited to review yours.
\nTo maintain high standards we are selective about who we work with. We review each manuscript thoroughly and ask you to read the guidelines carefully before making your submission.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container-7″][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Submission Guidelines:<\/h3>\n

Before you submit, please be clear that although we call our model ‘hybrid’, it is essentially based on a self-publication \u2013 so you’ll need to pay the associated costs. <\/strong>
\nPlease first consider which pricing package<\/a> fits best with your project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your book should ideally be over 75,000 words in total. If you are writing historical fiction it should be set no later than the 1980s.<\/p>\n

You need three parts to your submission:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A cover letter<\/li>\n
  2. A one-page synopsis of your whole book<\/li>\n
  3. The first three chapters in full or the 1st 10,000 words, whichever is the smaller. This should be from the beginning of the book (including any prologue).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    See here<\/a> for more details on how to complete your submission.<\/p>\n

    Other requirements:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Use a standard serif font, like Times New Roman or Garamond<\/li>\n
    2. Use 1.5 line spacing in 12 point font size<\/li>\n
    3. Submissions can ONLY be in either PDF or MS Word DOCX file formats. Any other format will not be considered<\/li>\n
    4. You have written the whole of the book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Please also read the Terms and Conditions<\/a> of service, and in particular clause 7, which states:<\/p>\n

      You agree that your submission is your own copyright work, and does not breach the copyright or other rights of any other party. You also agree that nothing in your submission contains material that contravenes the rights of the Company, its Officers, Authors and Associate Publishers. Furthermore, you agree that nothing in your submission is, or potentially may be, libellous or defamatory to any third party. Nor is it abusive, gratuitously obscene, racist, politically divisive, or in contravention of UK laws on gender, age, race, disability or sexual equality. The only exception may be where such content is specific to the genre of your book, and this MUST be made clear in the submission.<\/em><\/p>\n
