SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Midnight Ink prefers agented submissions. While we also accept unsolicited submissions, our response time will increase significantly in such cases. Only those submissions sent as MS Word or PDF documents in an emailed attachment to submissions@midnightinkbooks.com
Your submission must include the following:
* Cover letter containing a brief description of the project and the contents of the package.
* An outline and synopsis of the book.
* Brief summary of the author's background and credentials.
* Complete manuscript in the form of a Microsoft Word or PDF file.
* Your complete daytime contact information including telephone and email.
* Name, address, and phone number of agent (if applicable).
Please inform us if this is a multiple submission and include the number of current submissions.
The volume of submissions does not allow us to accept phone calls, e-mail, or other inquiries, or to provide comments or feedback on manuscripts. We will contact you only if we are interested in your proposal. Patience is a virtue—given the volume of submissions Midnight Ink receives, it can take up to six months for us to respond. If a manuscript requires a second read, it may take longer.
