Submission Guidelines for Writers

Submission Policies

Action Publishing currently publishes children’s picture books, juvenile and young adult fiction and adult trade non-fiction. Titles are developed in-house and acquired through agents.

Unsolicited manuscripts

We do, however, also make our best effort to review all unsolicited manuscripts. Due to the high volume, unsolicited submission are reviewed with the following conditions and caveats.

1. There is no guarantee regarding how long it will take to review the submission.

2. Our reply will probably not include individual comments.

3. A self addressed stamped envelope must be included to receive a reply.

4. Children’s picture book manuscripts should be sent complete. Juvenile and YA fiction may be sent as an outline plus sample chapter or complete. Non-fiction should be sent as a brief summary, table of contents and sample chapter(s).

5. Please apply standard manuscript formating. There are many resources online that describe a standard manuscript format. Algis Budry’s book on writing fiction, “Writing to the Point”, available from Action Publishing, includes an excellent chapter on the difference between a manuscript and a story and how to format a manuscript.

6. Email submissions are not accepted.
