                is now accepting submissions of

            Poetry Submissions should be extensive enough to result in

                     the publication of a book of about 100 pages.

​

     When you submit a manuscript to Point Petre Publishing, send

                           a hard copy of the ENTIRE manuscript.

Please send, along with your submission, a maximum of one page on each of the following subjects:

 

• A biography that notes your citizenship ... we will publish only writers who  are Canadian citizens.

• An overview of your submission: its themes, main ideas, etc.

• A list of previously published work, reviews, etc.

• A statement as to why you believe your submission should be considered for  publication.

• Any ideas you have that might help in the promotion of your book.

• Your contact information: mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.

 

**

 

We will likely receive several manuscripts for consideration during each submission period, but we will publish only 2 to 4 books a year.

 

We would prefer not to have to consider multiple submissions.

 

Selecting the manuscripts for publication will be involved and will take some time, so please allow 2 months for a reply.

 

1. Your submission will be read by the receiving editor.

2. A short-list of manuscripts will be assembled and read again.

3. The short-list will be winnowed to the successful manuscript(s).

If your submission is not accepted for publication, it will be returned with a written reply if it includes a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) with sufficient Canadian postage [No dated return postage, please.], the  sage advice of Ring Lardner notwithstanding:

​

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped,

self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in.

This is too much of a temptation  to the editor. 

 

If no SASE is included, your manuscript will be recycled and a short e-mail will be sent to you.

​

If your submission is accepted for publication, you will be contacted by e-mail.

​

So, make sure we have your e-mail address!
