Welcome! We’ve gathered all of our submission resources right here to make your journey to publication as smooth as possible. Below, you’ll find direct links to our in-depth guides covering exactly what we look for, how to polish your materials, and how to put your best foot forward.
Think of this page as your step-by-step checklist. Whether you’re tweaking your query letter or doing a final pass on your sample chapters, we’re here to help you get it right.
1. Before You Query
Before hitting send, you want to be absolutely certain your manuscript is ready for an editor’s eyes. Our preliminary guide walks you through a self-evaluation to ensure your book matches the genres we publish, your opening hook lands perfectly, and your formatting looks clean and professional.

2. Choosing Your Comps
Comparable titles show us exactly where your book sits on a bookstore shelf. In this guide, we break down what actually makes a strong comp (and what to avoid), how many titles to include, and realistic strategies for finding books that mirror your target audience.
- Master your comps: Choosing Your Comps
3. Sample Page Expectations
Your first fifty pages are our first impression of your writing. We use them to judge pacing, voice, and hook. This breakdown explains what we want to see right out of the gate, common pitfalls that lead to early rejections, and how to make those opening pages shine.

4. How to Write a Synopsis
A great synopsis gives us the macro-view of your plot. It shouldn’t read like back-cover blurb; we need to see the full shape of your story, including the ending. This guide covers our four essential pillars for a strong summary, character introductions, and keeping your tone consistent.
