SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES

The Kirk House team vets all manuscripts. Please follow our submission guidelines.

Submit your manuscript

 

We will review thirty pages or three chapters and then let you know if we want to review the entire manuscript.  Please complete your manuscript before submitting it. We publish books between 20,000 and 90,000 words.

 

Please note:  We do NOT offer an advance. We will publish paperback books and offer books in a digital format.  Our publishing is based on a contribution to be paid by the author. Please allow approximately two weeks for a response. We read all submissions and will notify you if we are interested in proceeding.

 

Please fill out the submission form, email a document with thirty pages or three chapters of your manuscript, and email ann@kirkhousepublishers.com
