If you strongly believe your fiction or non-fiction work and your passion for writing suit our criteria above, please post us the following 4 things to our mailing address below (we do not accept submissions by email or on disk).

1) Synopsis 

A brief synopsis of your book (in hardcopy). Please keep it to a maximum of two A4 single-sided white pages, in 1.5 or double spacing.

For non-fiction, please also tell us what's original about your book, and identify the market for it, including its size and demographics as well as explain how your book differs from the other books on the same topic that it will be competing with for shelfspace.  

2) Sample chapters 

The first 50 pages of your manuscript in hardcopy, on A4 single-sided white paper, printed with at least 2.5 cm (1") wide margins all around, and formatted in 1.5 or double spacing.

At the top of each page, please insert:

• the page number

• the title of your novel

• your name

On the coversheet, please include your name and your full contact details, including all the following:

• your postal address

• your phone number

• your email address. (We want it so we can email you to confirm we've received your submission.)

• your manuscript's total word count

• the sentence: “This is my original work in its entirety.”

3) Personal bio

A personal bio (but no more than two A4 single-sided pages) giving us some colour about you, including:

• Your work history & any relevant life details

• Why you like to write, what your writing ambitions are & how you have tried to fulfil them so far

• For non-fiction, what are your credentials for writing this book

4) Return packaging

If you want the material you send us returned to you, you must include the appropriate return postage and suitably sized and self-addressed packaging.

We need this in case we decide not to publish your work. Unfortunately, if you do not send us the return postage and appropriate self-addressed packaging, we will not return your work to you as we can't accept responsibility for this cost.

Notes:

• Pantera Press accepts no responsibility for any loss of or damage to any material you send us.

• Do NOT send us your originals or your only copy.

• If you have a literary agent, you should submit to us through them. But you do not need an agent to submit to us.
