Manuscript Submission Requirements Dragon Moon Press would like to thank you for your interest in submitting your manuscript for our review. The submission process is a time-consuming one, and at the moment, we need to concentrate on developing and marketing the books we currently have under contract. At present, we are only accepting solicited manuscripts via referral from our authors and partners. All manuscripts already under review will still be considered by our readers, and we will notify you of our decision. From all of us at Dragon Moon Press, thank you for your support, and best wishes -- we really do hope you find the perfect home for your story. For solicited submissions: Market: We prefer manuscripts targeted to the adult market or the upper border of YA. No middle grade or children's literature, please. Genre: Generally speaking, we prefer fantasy, paranormal, soft sci-fi and gentle horror. For an exceptional manuscript those boundaries may exhibit a little flexibility, but they'll only bend so far. Do keep our genre preference in mind before you submit. Length: 80,000-100,000 words. File format: We prefer electronic submissions in the form of a cover letter accompanied by a full manuscript as an attachment in a Microsoft Word .doc compatible format. Do not separate chapters into individual files. Style: A manuscript should be double spaced between lines, with one space after a period. We prefer italics to underlines, minimal formatting (no single character ellipses, curly/"smart" quotes or fancy characters as section breaks), and Courier New or Times New Roman. The title page should include the title, your name and contact information, and an estimated word count. Please include your name, title and page number in a single line on the header on each page. (Name / Title / #) Address: E-mail your submission to submissions @ dragonmoonpress dot com. Please allow 6 months for a response as we build a full years worth of books at a time. From all of us at Dragon Moon Press, thank you for your support, and best wishes – we really do hope you find the perfect home for your story. — Gwen Gades, Publisher, Dragon Moon Press Currently seeking: ~ We are open to strong Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance in the vein of Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, etc. And don't forget to befriend the DMP team on Facebook. |
