A note about what we’re not looking for:

• We do not publish children’s books, poetry, picture books, religious or academic material.
• We are not able to consider any previously published material, without exception.

How to submit :
We only accept submissions by email. All submissions must include an author platform (social media presence or other connections that will enable you to reach a wide audience).

Please send a QUERY ONLY in the body of the email to booksubmission@zyfex.com

Do not attach manuscripts or proposals to e-mail queries.

An editor will respond if he or she is interested in seeing your material based on your query. Due to the volume of submissions, editors may only respond to projects they wish to further consider.

Requested manuscripts should be Word documents unless otherwise specified, typed in 12-point font, double-spaced, and paginated. Include title and author in file name.

As a policy, we carefully review all submissions. We try to respond quickly and sometimes can, but other times a response might take up to three months, especially if we’re in production on a book.

IF YOU DO NOT HEAR BACK ON YOUR QUERY, IT MEANS THAT YOUR PROJECT DOESN’T FIT OUR CURRENT EDITORIAL NEEDS.
