The Manuscript Submission Process

At Library Tales Publishing, we’re committed to making the submission process clear, straightforward, and author-friendly. Our goal is to ensure your manuscript receives the attention it deserves while keeping you informed at every stage.

  • Step 1: Complete the Author Questionnaire

    To ensure a smooth evaluation and publication process, please fill out the author questionnaire with as much detail as possible. This information helps us assess your book’s potential and craft effective marketing strategies. Submit the completed questionnaire electronically along with your final manuscript.

  • Step 2: Editorial & Publishing Review

    Once we receive your manuscript and questionnaire, our team will carefully review your submission. We assess the content, market fit, and overall publishing potential. If we require additional details or revisions, we’ll reach out to discuss next steps. If your manuscript is approved, we’ll guide you through the next stages of editing and production.

  • Step 3: Acceptance & Publishing Timeline

    If we determine that your book is a great fit for our publishing program, we’ll contact you to discuss the next steps. Together, we’ll set a release date and begin the publishing process, including editing, design, and marketing preparations. Please note that as a traditional publisher, we never charge our authors—our goal is to invest in your work and bring it to market successfully.
