Tweet me!
Dragon Moon Press will be opening its virtual doors for submissions for the month of December, 2009.
WHAT WE WANT: 80,000 - 100,000 word completed novels, in the following genres: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Gentle Horror, in any flavor or variety.
WHAT WE DON'T WANT: Children's, middle grade, YA, nonfiction, biography, short stories, or the NaNoWriMo novel you just completed (send it NEXT YEAR, once it's been edited!).
WHAT TO SEND: A query letter as the body of your email (with the usual query letter features: your contact info, genre, word count, a short 1-3 paragraph synopsis, and relevant credits - not an author bio, please, relevant credits only), followed by the first fifteen pages, also in the body of the email.
This is a departure from our regular submissions guidelines, and it's intended to help me deal with the increased volume of submissions. DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS. Unless we specifically request an attachment from you, attachments will not be opened and your mail will be deleted.
WHERE TO SEND IT: Address your email to DMPSubmissions @ gmail . com (without the spaces, of course), with "OPEN SUBMISSION: [Book Title]" as your subject.
WHEN TO SEND IT: Between December 1 and December 31, 2009. Not before, not after. Submissions are open for one month only. After that, we will return to our closed, solicited submissions policy.
WHEN TO EXPECT A RESPONSE: Please expect a response within 4-6 months. If your book sells elsewhere within that time, congratulations! Please drop us a line and let us know to remove it from consideration. Be aware that we have a full slate of great books for 2010, so any submissions received will be in consideration for 2011 or beyond.
Good luck! I'll be posting progress on my blog through the month of December. If this works out well and I survive, I might just try it again next year!
