Publishing With Purpose • MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS.

We are now considering titles for 2027.

Arkbound is open to considering new submissions that fit our criteria. Please bear in mind, due to the quantity of submissions we receive, we may not be able to respond to each one.

If we respond to your submission, then you will be required to send a synopsis, sample chapter (of at least 5000 words for an adult book or 10 pages for an illustrated children’s book) if you did not provide one in the initial form and book proposal that covers:-

  1. Your details (brief biography);

  2. Brief description of the book and chapters;

  3. Market comparison;

  4. Detailed book promotion plan;

  5. Whether and how you will crowdfund for the book;

  6. Any other relevant information.

Submissions should take into account the general Arkbound criteria, which focuses on supporting authors from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds, together with books that cover an important social theme. We are particularly interested in continuing our list of powerful young adult fiction, focused on UK youth justice.

We’d like to ask you to become familiar with our recent releases before you submit your manuscript. We’re a small independent publisher and we ask you to show your support for Arkbound by purchasing one of our books in the year of your submission. Browse our recent releases here.

Our paperback books are £12.99 and our eBooks are £3.99-£5.99. If you live outside of the UK, you are welcome to purchase one of our books on Amazon, or make a minimum £9 donation. If you are not in a position to purchase a book or donate, please contact hello@arkbound.com.

Please note: as a UK not-for-profit charity publisher, the majority of our publications are funded by crowdfunding campaigns, hosted by the author and supported by Arkbound.

We are only able to consider books that are in Word format.

If you would like to proceed with submitting your book, please complete the form. If we feel the book is suitable, we will then get back in touch with you to seek further information.
