NOVELS & NON-FICTION

Please email the the following to editor@fictionjunkies.com with the words ‘NOVEL SUBMISSION’ or ‘NON-FICTION SUBMISSION’ in the title:

• a synopsis
• your first 3 chapters or first 10,000 words (whichever you think more appropriate)
• a description of how you can help to market not only your own book, but the others in the fictionjunkies family. Book marketing is a brutally competitive business. There are more writers than ever, and fewer readers, so be creative. For example:
  • Are you good on social media?
  • Can you write guest blog posts?
  • Are you willing to write honest book reviews on Goodreads and Amazon for our stable of books?
  • Do you have literary contacts?
  • Are you a good public speaker? Are you willing to speak at events? Not only literary festivals, but at local events, such as WI groups, Roundtable, Probus, U3A etc.
  • Do you have good contacts with your local bookshop(s)
  • I’m sure you can think of other ideas.
