We are currently open for non-fiction submissions only.
We will be open to fiction submissions
from July 15 to August 5, 2008
Wanted: Mid-list authors
We need to place our resources behind authors who know how to promote their books. You don't necessarily need a national
platform, a regional one will do. If you have demonstrated annual sales of 5k to 15k books, please consider placing your next
novel or non-fiction book with Twilight Times Books or Paladin Timeless Books.
Rest assured we will always keep a few slots open each year for exceptional books written by first time authors.
Twilight Times Books will present the works of those writers whose stories
blend genres, are too literary for other publishers or seem too mainstream or "quirky" in tone. The requirement for consideration at Twilight Times Books is your novel must be entertaining; your non-fiction book must be informative. Both fiction and non-fiction book submissions must be professionally written and you must have a comprehensive marketing plan.
Purchase a book or read the stories in Twilight Times ezine to determine the type of writing we're interested in seeing.
First consideration will be given to authors previously published by Twilight Times Books, Paladin Timeless Books, Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine (FMAM), Twilight Times ezine and/or Web Mystery Magazine. Our current response time is four weeks to two months. Simultaneous submissions are frowned upon. We offer a standard publishing contract.
We have expanded our guidelines to include more nonfiction titles in 2008 and are especially interested in the following categories:
creative nonfiction, fantasy, historical, how-to books, humor/satire, juvenile, literary, magic realism, mainstream/contemporary, military/war-related, mystery/suspense, nostalgia-related fiction and non-fiction, paranormal, regional, science fiction, specialty/New Age, supernatural, the Sixties-related (fiction or nonfiction), World War II-related, women's fiction, writing advice, etc.
Send a cover letter, synopsis, first chapter and marketing plan in the body of an email message to
publisher@twilighttimes.com
Your email message MUST begin the subject line with ttbooks or ttb or your message will be deleted.
No attachments, please.
Please note our formatting requirements.
We are generally open to submissions twice each year from Feb. 15th to March 5th and again from July 15th to August 5th.
