Submissions

Thank you for your interest in Bookmonkey Press. We do accept unsolicited manuscripts and are happy to take a chance on a new author if we feel that you are a good fit for our mission and purpose, which is to provide quality stories free of political or sexual agendas.

Bookmonkey Press is a conservative publishing house with a love for old-fashioned story-telling. We aim to provide good books for children and families to enjoy and add to their home libraries. We prefer to have a personal connection with our authors and are therefore highly selective when it comes to accepting manuscripts for publication.

Things we are looking for:
  • Our chief focus is Middle Grade fiction. We are disinclined to consider YA, but will give consideration to adult novels if they match our criteria as stated above.
  • We enjoy investing in stories of length which provide time for a story to develop richly. Greater consideration will be given to manuscripts with a word count of 80,000 or more.
If you consider that your manuscript matches these qualifications and would like us to consider it for publication, you may submit the following:
  • A one paragraph synopsis of your story.
  • A short description of why you believe your book is a good fit for Bookmonkey Press.
  • One to two chapters from the book, along with a finished word count of the entire manuscript.
  • A short autobiographical description of yourself.
  • A $50 submission fee, applied towards time spent considering your manuscript to determine whether we feel you are a good fit. Paying this fee does not guarantee acceptance. But, it does guarantee a response from us as to its suitability.
You will hear back from us within 6 weeks of submission as to whether or not we would like to accept your manuscript for publication. Our answer will be decisive.

Bookmonkey Press accepts no responsibility for proposals sent to us.
