Guidelines
Only submit finished works please. We don't want to wait for you to complete your novel if we're excited about your initial submission. Word counts are to be approximately 25,000 words for novellas, 70-80,000 words for full length novels. Be sure to proof read your manuscript thoroughly. Your manuscript should be double spaced, New Times Roman 12 point, with one inch borders. No footers or headers.
We no longer take simultaneous submissions, so please do not submit your manuscript to us if you have sent it elsewhere.
Your submission package must include the following:
1) A professional query letter which includes the title of your novel, word count, genre, a brief biography and your contact information. Include this in the body of your email.
2) A synopsis of your book that describes the story from beginning to end. Please keep it to 2-3 pages in length. Attach it to your email in RTF format.
3) First three chapters, saved in RTF format and attached to your email.
4) A promotional plan, showing short term and long term goals. While your submission won't be won or lost on the basis of this 'plan', it will get you thinking about what you can do to help promote your novel. Saved in RTF format and attached to your email.
Email your submissions to: submissions@champagnebooks.com
NOTE: We do not accept snail mail submissions at this time.
Submissions not adhering to the guidelines will be deleted unread.
