submissions

Partridge Island Publishing is a community-minded, family-like company. Our greatest wish is to help get authors, particularly Canadian authors' stories into the hands of readers.

All manuscripts are sent to a number of our volunteers for blind reading before a decision can be made to accept a submission.

If we cannot accept your manuscript for whatever reason we will give you an honest review on why and suggestions to help you get your story onto bookshelves.

We are currently looking for short stories and poems for our 4th in the fog anthology, Lights in the fog.

We are interested in full-length Novels, Novellas, and Children’s books.

We are not looking for stand-alone short stories or multi-author short story collections.

Submissions can be sent to Amanda@partridgeislandpublishing.ca

Please include a query letter telling us the details of your story including the genre and length of the story. We ask for the first 10 pages of your completed manuscript for a novel or novella, and the complete manuscript for children’s picture books.

Lights in the Fog will be our fourth book in the 'in the fog' series.

We are currently looking for stories and poems by Atlantic Canadian authors about the Atlantic Provinces.

The stories must have a light source as the main theme in the story and the setting must be an actual city in the Atlantic provinces.  

Details:

The deadline is January 31st, 2022.

Authors may submit a maximum of 3 entries in any combination of stories and poems.

Each entry can be no longer than 5,000 words.

The genre type is open, but the content must be PG 13.

Authors receive 1 free book, up to 5 copies at cost, and a discount on additional copies.

Submitted stories will be judged on how interesting the story is, how important the light source is to the story, how accurate the setting is, and how polished the final piece is.

FAQ

Does it have to be a city?  Can it be a town or village?

- It can be a town or village, as long as it is not fictional and can be found on Google Maps you can base your story on that area.
