Fantasy - both in adult and young adult fiction.

Your synopsis can be single-spaced, but should be no more than 3-4 pages.

Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements will be asked to be resubmitted after they have been reformatted.

Please only send polished and edited material for consideration. While a manuscript may not be rejected out of hand for
grammatical issues, you will asked to rewrite and polish the manuscript before a decision is made on it.

You need to also include the following contact information: your email address, phone number, and mailing address.

A brief note on word counts:

I don't have a firm maximum word count - it should be based on what it takes to tell the story properly.

Minimum word counts:
