Which Manuscripts Can Be Submitted for a Free Sample Edit?
We welcome book manuscripts from authors working on almost all types of genres and writing styles.
Novels, novellas, and short stories
Novels, novellas, and short stories are forms of fiction, each varying in length and depth. Novels are the longest and most complex, novellas offer a focused narrative, and short stories deliver brief, impactful moments.
Plays and screenplays
Plays and screenplays are scripted forms of storytelling, with plays written for live theater and screenplays for film or TV. Both rely on dialogue and stage directions but differ in format and audience experience.
Poetry
Poetry is a literary form that uses rhythm, imagery, and carefully chosen words to evoke emotions and convey ideas. It often focuses on expressing feelings, capturing moments, or exploring themes in a condensed, impactful way.
General nonfiction
General nonfiction includes real-life stories and advice, from memoirs and biographies to self-help books focused on personal growth.
