Submit Your Work


Send us your manuscript for publication


You can send us your work by email, on CD-Rom or as hard copy, according to our Submission Guidelines

Before you embark on your publishing journey, it's worth taking some time to make sure your work is the best it can be. There's nothing worse than opening a hot-off-the-press copy of your new book and seeing a mistake you wished you'd spotted earlier.

Re-writes or amendents late in the publishing process – for example, after proofs have been prepared – can be costly, so we encourage all our authors to submit their final, polished manuscript.

One of the most important decisions an author can make is to have their work professionally edited. A common criticism levelled at privately or self published works is that they are poorly edited or amateurish in their presentation. Working professionally on your own manuscript can be difficult because you're so familiar with it, but having a third party to copy-edit and proofread before you make a submission can highlight errors in punctuation and grammar.

We offer a variety of services to help you polish your work before you submit your final manuscript:

  • Full copy-editing
  • A copy-editing tutorial to help you work on your own manuscript
  • Proofreading
  • An editorial assessment of your work
  • A full editorial critique
  • Editorial support and mentoring
  • Typing services
  • Writing or re-writing

For more details on any of these services please browse our Silver Service Menu

Once you're satisfied that your work is ready to publish, simply browse our Submission Guidelines and then go to Step 2
