Before you submit anything to Lucy Rose Publishing please realize that our response time for queries is 2 - 4 weeks and for manuscripts 1 - 2 months. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to wait on a response from prospective publishers but we try to respond to all queries within a timely manner.

Send the first three consecutive chapters of your manuscript for evaluation. Your name and address must be on the first page of the manuscript. Manuscripts should be typed in a legible font and double-spaced with one-inch margins. DO NOT SEND COMPUTER DISKS or HANDWRITTEN MATERIALS.
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED.

Include a marketing plan (i.e. Do you plan to do book signings?  Attend literary explosions? Aggressively seek out publicity?  Promote your own book?) This is important because each author must realize that once your book is published its success depends on how well the book is marketed to the public. You can not depend solely on the publisher for the marketing of your book.

Include an email address and telephone number with your submission.

A self-addressed stamp envelope or postcard can be included with your submission if you want confirmation that we received it.

You will be contacted once your manuscript has been reviewed so it is important that you DO NOT call our office to see if your manuscript was received, returned or to find out what we thought of it.

Please proof your work for any spelling and simple grammatical errors prior to submission. Submissions with glaring mistakes will not be considered. You want to make a good impression because your work says a lot about you.
