Submission Guidelines for Authors Applying for Book Publishing

  1. Manuscript Format:
    Submit your manuscript in Microsoft Word (DOC/DOCX) or PDF format, using 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Ensure proper formatting, including numbered pages.
  2. Synopsis & Book Proposal:
    Provide a one-page synopsis summarizing the book’s theme, plot, or subject matter. For non-fiction, include a detailed book proposal outlining the target audience, market potential, and author credentials.
  3. Cover Letter & Author Bio:
    Submit a cover letter introducing yourself, the book’s concept, and why it fits our publishing vision. Include a brief author bio (150-200 words) highlighting writing experience, credentials, and previous publications (if any).
  4. Genre & Word Count:
    Clearly mention the genre (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, etc.) and word count of your manuscript. Ensure your submission aligns with the genres we publish.
  5. Exclusivity Statement:
    Confirm whether the manuscript is a simultaneous submission (submitted to multiple publishers) or an exclusive submission to our publishing house.
  6. Sample Chapters:
    If submitting a full-length book, provide the first three chapters or up to 10,000 words for initial review. Ensure the content is proofread and edited before submission.
  7. Copyright & Plagiarism Statement:
    Authors must guarantee the manuscript is original, unpublished, and free from plagiarism. If quoting copyrighted material, include necessary permissions.
  8. Submission Process & Response Time:
    Send your submission via email to submission@ferntree.in with the subject line: “Book Submission – [Your Book Title]”. Expect a response within 12-16 weeks; due to high volumes, only selected manuscripts will receive feedback.
