Submissions, publishing process & schedule

don't delay, submit your work today
Calling all writers and poets
Unsolicited submissions of any length accepted.
With regards our anthologies, submit your previously unpublished poetry of up to 30 lines and short fiction stories of no more than 1,000 words each on any subject for our consideration (as a Word .doc file otherwise we have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?
Email your manuscript to [email protected]
All submissions are responded to, after careful consideration.

We edit, set, publish and market books for authors.

Publishing procedure
Firstly, once an author agrees to our terms their photo can be added to our Representation page.
The publishing process involves Tim thoroughly reading the manuscript, editing, setting it and often, creating book covers. Authors receive pdf proofs and at this stage any amendments can be made. Once the author is happy, the book is then published and retail prices are set. Usually ebooks are the least expensive followed by paperbacks and then luxurious hardbacks. A minimum of 75 pages is required to publish a hardback.
Discounted author copies are often available. 
Books published by Tim Saunders Publications are available through Amazon and other outlets
Future anthologies
Have you written a poem (up to 30 lines) or a short story up to 1,000 words that you would like to submit for consideration in a future anthology?
Send your submissions to: [email protected] - I'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). 

Important note regarding BT email addresses
​​BT email addresses​ are not accepting emails from Tim Saunders Publications, returning them undelivered. If you have not received acknowledgement from Tim Saunders Publications please provide an alternative, non-BT email address. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
