We thank you for your interest. We are currently NOT accepting new submissions on any of our current imprints at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Be sure to check out each imprint page for more information on their submission guidelines.

If you’d like to submit a manuscript for consideration to any of our current imprints, please submit a query letter and a copy of your finished manuscript to: submissions@ldbpress.com. In the subject line, please list the following: (Imprint Name) Manuscript Submission – (Title Of Your Work).

In your query letter, be sure to list the book’s title, final word count, and genre, as well as a short summary of your story. We also request a short bio, your target audience, and mention of any previous publication history.

We accept the following document formats for submitted manuscripts: .DOC, .DOCX, .RTF, and .TXT.

Submitted original and previously unpublished material should belong solely to you (the Author). We do accept previously self-published works, and do ask that you make that fact known to us before submission.

Please allow 4 – 8 weeks for a response from us in regards to your submission. If you haven’t received a response from us by that time frame, please feel free to send in an additional query to the email address provided above.
