You can see all submissions guidelines on our website: http://carinapress.com/blog/submission-guidelines/ [http://carinapress.com/blog/submission-guidelines/] Required: In the submissions form, you will be asked for a brief, introductory query letter listing genre, word count and a short description of the book, as well as any pertinent information about the author, including both legal name and pen name and any writing credits. The query letter is your sales pitch and we use the information included in it. Required: The full manuscript saved as an RTF file and attached, with file name TITLE_MANUSCRIPT where you substitute your book’s title in place of TITLE. (example: WarAndPeace_Manuscript) Required: 2-5 page synopsis of book that details character development, plot, and conflict/story resolution. Attach as an RTF file with file name TITLE_SYNOPSIS where you substitute your book’s title in place of TITLE. (Example: WarAndPeace_Synopsis) Please be sure to put the following information on the first page of all files: manuscript name, author pen name/legal name, email address, phone number, genre and word count. If you don’t include your phone number, it makes it impossible for us to make The Call! Combined size of both attachments must be under 4 MB in size. We’re unable to send files larger than this to our editors due to restrictions in our email system. If your manuscript is over 4 MB, please remove extra images, delete extraneous styles or font use that may increase file size Please allow 12 weeks for an editorial response to your submission. If a response has not been received after 12 weeks, please follow-up with the submissions@carinapress.com email address. In the subject line of your query, please type your manuscript name, your name, and genre of the manuscript. (Example: Book X by Jane Doe, Steampunk). In the body of the email, please let us know the date it was submitted. If you have questions prior to submission, you can email submissions@carinapress.com However, no attachments, query letters or submissions should be sent to this address. Please choose the best main category for your submission, even if your manuscript is a mash-up of genres. The main categories include all subgenres, so please don't worry if your subgenre isn't specifically listed but instead choose the best main category (ie contemporary, historical and romantic suspense all fit under romance. Steampunk might go under science fiction. Crime fiction could go under mystery.) Choosing the wrong category won't get your submission rejected, it simply helps us sort them as they come in. However, please do make sure you're submitting a manuscript that fits our submissions guidelines and is a genre we publish.
