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With regards our anthologies, submit your previously unpublished poetry of up to 30 lines and short fiction stories of no more than 1,000 words each on any subject for our consideration (as a Word .doc file otherwise we have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
Books are now printed on Groundwood paper, a lower-cost and lower-carbon print option.
