Our submission process
We like to see unsolicited queries that are concise, well-written, and professionally edited. Gimmicks don't work. Let your writing speak for itself. We are looking for non-fiction, general fiction, and juvenile fiction books.In your query email, briefly tell us about yourself, describe your project in a summary paragraph, and tell us whether you have submitted this project to other agents and publishers. In the body of the email, please include a synopsis of the work (under 1,000 words) and the first chapter. Do not send attachments. We will not open them. If we are interested in your work, we will request more information from you. To get your foot in our door, provide a professional submission. Plain and simple works for us. Don't send photographs.
We do not agree to publishing contracts based on non-fiction book proposals. Complete the work before you send us a query.
Juvenile fiction manuscripts should be at least 30,000 words in length. We do not publish picture books.
Please be patient. We get many queries every day, and we do read them all, but it takes time. We will respond to most query emails within six to eight weeks. If you don't hear from us within that time frame, chances are we did not receive your email. Feel free to resend it.
If we request additional chapters or a complete manuscript, again be patient. Do not email us trying to determine where we are in the process. We will definitely get back to you one way or another. If you do not hear from us within two months' time, you can check in and make sure we've received your materials. We are not legally responsible for your materials.
Please adhere to the above guidelines to help us respond to you in a timely manner. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our editors can give you a new perspective on your writing.
We understand the process of developing a unique story and the importance of creating believable characters. All of our editors are also writers. We know what you've gone through to get to this point. Let us help you cross the finish line with a clean manuscript. We offer two types of editing services ...

The Megadog Tales: Unleash The Power
What would happen if a dog became a superhero?
In this exciting middle grade adventure, Joe is a run-of-the-puppy-mill cocker spaniel who dreams of being special, but suffers with the curse of being average. He lives in the suburbs of Barksdale with his friends Elwood, a dopey mutt who looks like a genetic mishap, and Frank, a plump wiener dog.
When the dogs devour heaping mounds of dog food that is laced with plutonium, their DNA evolves. Joe transforms into MegaDog, a superhero with a passion for funky music. Elwood mutates into Baywolf, a sleek black and white wolf with a hip-hop attitude, and Frank becomes a gadget guru.
In a palatial penthouse in the Crump Tower, Mr. Wrinkles, a power-hungry shar-pei, and his assistant, Pavlov, a mastiff with a drooling problem, create dog collars that contain mind-control devices. Inciting a canine revolution, Mr. Wrinkles wreaks havoc across the country. MegaDog and Baywolf must stop Mr. Wrinkles before he takes over the world.

Lazarus Kaine
Let wicked images of terror rip through your imagination as Joel Eden unleashes a creature that lives in the mind of every human being - fear itself.
Matt Curtis is overwhelmed with self-doubt. His personal life is falling apart, and his job is like quicksand. His ultimate fear is being alone and that fear has come to call in the form of a supernatural creature - a tall, slender man wearing a dark suit and answering to the name Lazarus Kaine.
On a mission to terrorize Curtis, Kaine removes one woman after another from Curtis's life through a series of brutal murders that leave police baffled and Curtis looking suspect. Curtis must decide whether he will stand idly by and let Kaine systematically dismantle his life and kill innocent women in the process or muster the courage to wrestle his fear and use it to his advantage.
After you read this book, every time you see a shadow move, you'll think about Lazarus Kaine.

Virtually Incredible
What happens when virtual reality becomes reality?
Frito Bowles, Darcy Gordon, Jim Sanderson, and Sammi Twitchell are four middle school kids who are looking for adventure!
The construction of a new virtual reality gaming facility in an abandoned warehouse provides a common interest to forge an unusual friendship between them. Frito, an impulsive bundle of energy, Darcy, a nature lover, Jim, an intellectual with a bit of a temper, and Sammi, a slender tomboy, somehow manage to get along despite a rather rocky beginning.
It seems to take forever until the gaming place, Virtually Incredible, finally opens for business with Frito and friends first in line to experience the adventures. But the computerized games are nothing compared to what they find deep within the old warehouse!
Besides being a maniac who walks basically everywhere, often 40-plus miles a week, Suzanne Grace bakes decadently addictive brownies, paints in oils, and sometimes dresses up in medieval clothing. She loves to write, and has been writing since age twelve. Her literary endeavors have ranged from pun-filled poetry to musical melodrama, and now her scribblings venture into a new genre as her first book, Virtually Incredible, is released upon an unsuspecting public!
