Dark Moon Rising Publications now accepts queries for completed manuscripts only. Please do not submit a work in progress. Due to the large number of submissions we receive, your best opportunity for acceptance is to carefully read and follow all submission guidelines. If your manuscript is complete, as polished as you can make it, and you think it's a good match for Dark Moon Rising Publications, we'd like to hear from you.

Full length (40,000 to 120,000 words) and novella length (20,000 to 60,000 words) works only. Series concepts are also welcome. Please read the full submission guidelines for instructions on how to submit your book.

Use 12 pt. Times New Roman

Cover page with name, address, phone number, email, genre, and word count (disregard word count if a poetry collection)

A standard professional query letter that includes your 25-30 word book pitch

A 250-word synopsis of the work.

Manuscripts should be double-spaced, saved in 8-1/2" x 11" format with 1" margins.

Your marketing plans or ideas. Tell us who your target reader is and how you would reach them. Market demographics with comparisons of books and authors in the same genre as your work, with similarities.  Include demographics of sales for any published work (it doesn't matter if you have sold 1 copy or 100 copies) unless you are a new author, then disregard the demographics. 

Author Biography and list of pre-published works, unless a new author never before published. 

Please include if the book is part of a series. Dark Moon Rising Publications doesn't necessarily publish all books of a series but retains the right to publish the individual books as they come out. If Dark Moon Rising Publications decides to not go with the sequel to the previously published series book(s), the author has the right to choose whatever publisher they choose.
