Read More Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be in English.
All genres are accepted. (Thriller, Drama, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, etc.)
All works must fit at least one (1) of the following:
- Essays and Short Stories: 3,000 words or less
- Books: A single chapter
- Poetry: No restrictions
We want to keep things simple and kind
Therefore, we do not accept agented submissions. That being said, if you have an agent but have written a work that is not represented by an agent, agency, or manager, Blank Cover Press will consider indie. Therefore, it qualifies for submission. We accept nothing that is done through an agent, agency, or a manager of any kind.
Submitted works must be copyrighted by the author
When does a work become copyrighted? In most countries, once an author creates a work, copyright protection is automatic.
With your submission, please provide the following:
- Your first and last name (legal or pseudonym)
- IG/FB handle: @example (so we can tag you if/when it’s posted on social media!)
- Three (3) hashtag words that describe the work: #example #example #example
