Please read and review our submission guidelines carefully before proposing your manuscript.

We are currently accepting manuscripts for YA, Thriller, and Sci-Fi. You may submit in other Genres as well, as each manuscript is considered by its own merit.

We DO NOT accept manuscripts with vulgarity, explicitly, LGBTQ, or erotics. 

Propose your manuscript to:

submissions@ironheartpublishing.com

Alternatively, you can use the submission form below.

• Include the working title and word count in the Subject Line

• Include your name and contact information

• Paste the first TEN pages of your manuscript below your proposal

Your proposal should include:

•  The genre (e.g., fiction – fantasy)

• A brief description of the book (think jacket copy, not a play-by-play)

• The approximate word count

• Submission history of the project. Have you queried any agents? Have you approached any other publishing companies? etc.

• A little bit about yourself. 

• Contact information

If we are interested to see more, we will invite you to send further material

Do's and Don'ts:
Querying a Publisher or a Literary Agent is no different from applying for a job or pitching a business idea. All communication must be carried out in a professional way. Agents and publishers can easily deduce from a query letter whether the author is worth their time or not. However, it is not an exact science. All you need to remember is to write a proposal in a way that represents your professionalism as a writer.

Here are some tips;

• Follow the Submission Guidelines.

• Give as much information about yourself.

• Give as much information about your book.

• Give as much information about your career.

• All the information you provide must be clear and concise.

• Avoid vulgarity.

• Avoid sarcasm.

 

Remember, your proposal or query reflects your professionalism and writing skills. Impress the agent or the editor on the other side, enough to make them want to read more about you and what you've worked so hard to write!

We do our best to evaluate submissions within a week of when they were sent. Every proposal is carefully read and considered. You will not receive s detailed criticism of your work unless we are interested in publishing it.
Thank you for considering Iron Heart Publishing!
