Helpful Tips
Your covering letter should tell us your motivation for writing your story and why you feel passionate about it. State the age range and any titles you may have thought of that are either humorous, adventurous, thought- provoking etc.
​
Some of our authors have more than one story in mind to publish, therefore it would be helpful for us if you could let us know then we can help with creating a ‘Brand’ awareness for your work if it becomes a series.
Although we do not promise to accept every submission sent to us, we will do our best to advise you if your story needs further attention etc. If we can help in any way, we will. We make our decision to work with you based on a number of key fields:
​
-
Story Character
-
Writing ability
-
Content
-
Suitability
​
Synopsis
A synopsis should be approximately 400–500 words, and is to provide us with a short summary that will make us want to find out more.
​
Your synopsis should tell us briefly how the story unfolds, how your characters develop and how the story reaches its resolution. The best way to make this flow is to imagine you are telling this to a friend. From experience we have learned that if you find it difficult to break down your synopsis to around 300 – 500 words, you may have to tighten your manuscript before you submit it to us.
