Greetings! Chris Kennedy Publishing is excited to announce that it will be having its first-ever open submission period for science fiction novel/trilogy submissions from now until the end of July.
The guidelines are:
Novel length: 85-120k
Format: Word docx
Font: Times New Roman 12pt
Spacing: 1.0
What are we looking for? Fast-paced, energetic prose with characters we fall in love with. We’re open to almost all sorts of science fiction (but NOT scifi romance or erotica). Mil scifi or science fiction with some sort of military action is preferred but not required.
We’ve discovered that for newer and less established authors, the best path to success is to publish a full trilogy (at least) in quick succession. This rapid release strategy means that we’re really looking for completed sets of three (or more) novels before we actually start the publishing process.
Does this mean you have to send us a completed trilogy in July? Not at all.
What we expect for your submission is at least 20,000 words in the first novel, which will tell us if your prose matches our readership. If you haven’t grabbed the reader by then, they’ve already left. We also need an outline covering your anticipated second and third books (or more, if you have a longer series in mind). Basically, we need to know whether you have a good plan to give us a full set of books in a relatively timely manner.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to email Chris at chris.kennedy12@gmail.com.
Thanks and good luck!
Chris
