PAMPHLET SUBMISSIONS OPEN NOW! |
|
|
We are open for poetry pamphlet/chapbook submissions until 30th November. Only a very small percentage of people who submit actually buy a book from us. If everybody who submitted bought a book it'd be a massive boost to us. Please consider buying a book so you know what we produce and how we publish, though this will not affect your chances at all. We have no definitive preference for what are looking for, we enjoy a variety of genres and styles and consider anything. If it's good enough for us we'll take it. We are fine with previously published work in a book, but it isn't essential, and should preferably not be more than 50% of the full MS. We are happy to look at translations - but keep in mind that we do facing-page and would require both the original language and the translated language. We pay 10% royalties, with the author receiving 5 free author copies. The author may buy as many books as they wish at 50% discount, whenever they wish, and all Broken Sleep authors receive a permanent discount on all of our books. If you need to email regarding a query please email aa...@brokensleepbooks.com as the submissions email address is not checked during submission windows. Any submissions sent to aa...@brokensleepbooks.com will be discarded without being read. We hope to respond to all submissions within 8-10 weeks of the closing date. We are sorry but we are unable to give feedback to any submissions we don't take on, this is simply because we get so many submissions that we just don't have the time. You can, however, use the editorial service to pay for feedback if you wish. |
