Submissions and publishing schedule

don't delay, submit your work today
Calling all writers and poets
We welcome unsolicited submissions. Submit your previously unpublished poetry of up to 30 lines and short fiction stories of no more than 1,000 words each on any subject for our consideration (as a Word .doc file otherwise we have to convert the file and errors can subsequently creep in). Tim Saunders Publications reserves the right to edit submissions. Authors retain copyright.

Do you have a book that you would like published?
We edit, set, publish and market books for authors.

Email. tsaunderspubs@gmail.com 
All submissions will be responded to in due course but please be patient, there are lots to read.

Have you written a poem (up to 30 lines) or a short story up to 1,000 words on any of the following highly emotive subjects? This page is regularly updated so keep your eyes peeled because deadlines might change and more topics will be added. If you would like to see a particular subject covered, let us know and we'll consider it. Send your submissions to: tsaunderspubs@gmail.com - we'd love to read them. (Only send them, though when you are entirely happy because we cannot accept revised, amended versions due to time constraints).
