Submissions

I am accepting submissions for full length fiction and short stories of any genre. I'm afraid I'm not able to accept non-fiction projects.

Submissions should be made in the following format -
  • Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx)
  • Double spaced 
  • Readable serif font (Times, etc.)
Submissions should be made in form of an email to bethklewis(at)gmail.com. The mss should be an attachment and the body of the email should include a brief summary of the story and the genre. Please let me know if you would like any special attention paid to a particular area (such as dialogue or characterisation).

You will receive an email notification that your submission has been received.

Do's and Don'ts
  • Do - send 50 to 100 pages.
  • Do - email me if I don't get back to you, sometimes things get lost in cyberspace.
  • Don't - send me your full manuscript.
  • Don't - send other file formats, they will be deleted, unopened.
  • Don't - send me extras like covers or maps or reviews, I just want to read your book.
Please remember that I am giving this advice and editing your work in my spare time. The comments I give are my opinion based on my publishing and writing experience and my knowledge of the industry, you don't have to agree with me or take the advice on board.

Warning: I won't pull any punches, I will be brutally, soul-crushingly honest. If that's your cup of tea, please email me.
