Submissions/Editing

Unagented Submissions Open

Turtle-Bear has the ability to distribute your work all across the globe and into major retailers like Barnes and Noble. The system we use is called print-on-demand (POD), meaning that there retailers buy what they think will sell without having to put in massive orders that ultimately get sent to the storage room. 

How well your book sells will be ultimatly up the how much people want to read it. This is largely influenced by advertising, which we help out in. 

Submission Criteria: We do not discriminate between age groups, genre, target demographics, or any normal criteria. We do discriminate on content. We will not easily accept works that use excessive vulgar language or imagery. This includes swear words and erotic material. We understand that sometimes vulgarity must be used to further the story or emphasis a point, and so we do not outright ban such things. Know that if our editors deem that there is more than necessary in a work than we will offer you a choice. It can be rejected or it can be accepted with revisions made. Details will be worked out in a contract.

All submitted files must be in .docx or .pdf format. They will be reformatted to .epub when the manuscript is ready for print.
