Thank you for considering Whimsical Publications for your manuscript. At WP, we are looking for a story that is
be as free of mechanical errors in punctuation, grammar, and spelling as possible.
Our minimum word length for all print fiction is 25,000 words. For e-books, it's 15,000. Please include the total
word count for your manuscript in the initial email. We prefer to receive a book blurb, a synopsis, and the first
three chapters of your work to start. If we wish to review the full manuscript, we will request it. Please do not
enquire about submissions unless you have a completed manuscript.
We Accept the Following Genres:
Science-Fiction/Futuristic
Fantasy/Paranormal
Horror
Mystery/Suspense
Romance
Young Adult
Western
We are NOT looking for erotica material.
Submitting Your Manuscript
Email the following information to: submissions@whimsicalpublications.com.
In the subject line of your email, put "SUBMISSION" plus the "Name Of Your Book." For e-books, put "E-BOOK
SUBMISSION" plus the "Name Of Your Book." This makes it easier for us to identify it as an actual email and not
spam. Please include all of the following information in the body of your email (not as a separate attachment):
The title
Your real name
Your pen name (if applicable)
Your mailing address (street, city, state, zip code)
Your email address (without this, we cannot communicate with you)
Genre (can be multi-genre—see list above)
Approximate word count (not number of pages)
Book blurb: This is the back-of-the-book copy for the novel. Two to three paragraphs to
catch the reader's attention. This is your one-minute commercial to entice someone to want to
read your book. If accepted, we will make all attempts to use it intact, but cannot guarantee it. If you are unsure
how to do this, look at the back of a few books to get an idea.
Synopsis: Your plot synopsis is a brief narrative summary of your novel. The purpose of a plot synopsis is to tell
us about your story and especially to hook our interest. Make sure it tells the basics for the entire story. Don't,
for example, leave out the story's ending as a gimmick. We don't have time to evaluate gimmicks. And create the
synopsis as a whole, unified piece. Do not break it up with chapter headings. Your synopsis should be no more
than a couple of pages at most, preferably one page.
Send your information in an email with the only attachment being the first three chapters in .rtf or .doc format
(NOT .docx format, please) to: submissions@whimsicalpublications.com.
Formatting Your Manuscript
Use italics for an italicized word.
For scene breaks, use three asterisks (***) centered on a separate line.
Line spacing: single
Font: Arial or Verdana 12 pt
No other formatting is necessary.
Notes of Interest
Do not break your requested information into multiple attachments. A multiple file submission will be rejected
without being reviewed due to the risk of introducing a virus into the system.
Accepted manuscripts lengths are a minimum length of 25,000 words for print books and 15,000 words for e-
books.
You will receive an acknowledgement emails indicating that your submission has been
received and that the review time is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Times may vary depending on the amount of
submissions we receive. Notification of acceptance or denial will be sent via email. Please be sure that your return
email address is correct.
Thanks you for visiting our submission page. We look forward to hearing from you..
