What we want

 

 

I'm not going to hand you a bunch of bologna here. We want good books, grammatically correct writing, solid plot structure, cooperative if not reasonable authors, and a unicorn while we're at it!

                                     

All kidding aside, we be nice to them if they be nice to us. The work has to be good and that's the bottom line. Here follows a list of genres we are comfortable with right now...

                          

Genres:

FICTION:

Fantasy~ there must be good world building, character development, focus and some sort of magical element. These typically run 150,000-180,000 words give or take a few.

Sci-Fi~ You can't leave out the science ,or the depth of characters in the name thereof.

Children's: Take me back to my childhood in 20,000 words or less.

NON-FICTION:

Christian Religious~ We have a theology scholar on staff so you had better do your homework.

Memoirs~ MUST OFFER SOMETHING UNIQUE; Particularly in the southern flavor.

Gaming and Comic: We cannot stress enough the importance of originality. This is a tough market right now but how-to's on these subjects are in high demand too, so if you don't have the game or comic but have a book on how to create them, talk to us.

                 

This is a short list. We will consider all worthy manuscripts across genre, but you MUST sell it in a query first to: Awaticka_Literary@live.com
