Before you send your manuscript
Submission guidelines
What to send, and what happens next.
First-time authors get 50% off their first publication with SoulScriptz.
SoulScriptz welcomes first-time and experienced authors. Here is how to send your work so we can give it a proper look.
What we publish
Memoir and life stories, fiction, children’s books, poetry, self-help and personal development, faith and spirituality, and non-fiction. If your book doesn’t fit neatly into one of these, send it anyway and tell us about it.
What we don’t publish
- Content that promotes hatred or violence, or is unlawful
- Work that copies or infringes someone else’s writing
- Content that could defame a real person
What to send
- Your name and email address
- A few lines about your book: what it is about and who it is for
- Your manuscript as a Word document or PDF: the full manuscript, or the first three chapters with a one-page summary of the rest
- Roughly how long it is, in words or pages
- Tick where your manuscript is today on the form, so we can point you to the right package
Files up to 3 MB can be attached to the form. For anything bigger, send the form without the file and email it to info@soulscripts.co.uk.
Not finished yet?
You don’t need a finished book to get in touch. If you have an idea, notes or a first draft, book a consultation and we will plan the next step with you.
What happens next
- We confirm we have received it.
- A real person reads it, and we reply as soon as we can with honest thoughts and the package that would suit your book.
- If you want to go ahead, we send a written quote. Nothing is agreed until you accept it.
Your work is safe with us
Your manuscript remains yours. We read it only to respond to you, and never share or publish it without a written agreement. See the SoulScriptz Author Promise.
