Prospective Authors/Illustrators
Have you ever desired to be a published author, or are you an already published author looking for a new publishing house? Then Relevant Publishers LLC might be the right partner for you.
Our Process:
Relevant Publishers LLC accepts open submissions of manuscripts via an online process. After our editor reviews your inquiry form, if we are interested in pursuing the book project further, we will contact you. We may send you a Right To Read Agreement, which allows our company the opportunity to formally review your manuscript while still protecting all your rights. Your manuscript and name will be kept confidential during the reading process. If during the Right To Read time period we believe your manuscript will be a good fit with our vision, we will offer you a formal Publishing Agreement. The average length from submission to publication can vary depending on editing, but usually publication occurs within 24-30 months.
At times, Relevant Publishers has specific book projects we are working on and lists calls for open submissions. Our Targeted Open Submission Projects are listed below. Any author or illustrator is eligible to apply. Click Here to Inquire.
