If you would like to submit your Young Adult work for consideration, please read this first.
Pfoxmoor Publishing will make available any book we accept as a digital edition and distribute it to almost all digital bookstores. We reserve the right to review submissions, design cover art, edit, format and handle distribution. Digital publishing has lower overhead costs, allowing the publisher to pass along savings to both the writer (in the form of higher royalties) and the reader (in the form of lower prices). In select cases, certain titles will be chosen for print editions.
All work submitted will be reviewed for suitability. We currently accept Young Adult romance, historical, paranormal, fantasy, coming-of-age, SF, action-adventure and cross-over genres. Pfoxmoor Publishing reserves the right to limit the number of titles published during the year.
Full length manuscripts, genre and literary fiction: 50,000-90,000 words
Long Novellas, all genres: 35,000-50,000 words
Short Novellas, all genres: 20,000-35,000 words
We are currently accepting full length young adult genre fiction.
Only completed and fully edited manuscripts will be considered. If you have cover art, you may submit it in jpeg format only. Since we publish a limited number of titles per year, we are very selective.
