Independent publishing guidance — authors always keep control of their work.

Submission desk

Make every page earn its place.

Strong materials are clear, specific, correctly formatted, and tailored to the person reading them. Prepare the whole package before the first query goes out.

Follow the recipient’s brief.

Submission guidelines are not suggestions. Check requested length, file type, subject line, sample format, and whether attachments are accepted every time.
