NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS!!!
Muse Cafe Publications is a small press publisher that stives to publish both amateur and professional poets.
We publish under one of two venues:
1. Muse Poetry Review: Which is a monthly poetry review for which we publish several works from up to 2-6 poets.
2. A Book Publisher: Every quarter we publish books from up to 6 authors.
Please read below for book submission guidelines and see the links above for more information concerning submissions and guidelines!
GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPTS:
Muse Cafe Publications accepts submissions YEAR ROUND. We strive to produce a small press publishing venue for both known and unknown writers. So, whether you are a seasoned poet or have just written your first collection, we are interested in reviewing your completed manuscript (if you are interested in publishing it).
PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES:
1. We accept submissions of manuscripts for poetry, short stories, essays, novellas, novels and prose.
2. Book length can be anywhere from 24 pages to 250 pages. If you have written a novel, exceptions can be made as novels can sometimes exceed 250 pages.
3. DO NOT send me a book that has previously been published somewhere else (UNLESS I HAVE SOLICITED IT FROM YOU)! You can send a book full of pieces that have been published in various sites/magazines/etc. but I do not and WILL NOT re-publish a book which has been previously published elsewhere.
4. Muse Cafe Publications DOES NOT CHARGE for the publishing of your book, unless you wish to add extra buying options.
5. Muse Cafe Publications WILL edit, compile, and convert your manuscript as well as provide a FULL COLOR front and back cover.
6. PLEASE SEND ALL SUBMISSIONS in Word (preferred) or microsoft works document form with a title (or at least a working title) and your full name to musecafepress@gmail.com
7. IN YOUR EMAIL TITLE please put "BOOK SUBMISSION" and then your last name. This really goes a long way in allowing me to weed out your manuscript from getting lost in all the junk mail.
8. If your manuscript is accepted, we will further converse with you by email in terms of contract and so on.
9. MUSE CAFE PUBLICATIONS has also devised a plan for getting reviews for your books, so we will provide that option to you as well if your manuscript is accepted.
PLEASE ALLOW A 90 DAY READING/REVIEWING PERIOD, AS READING A HIGH NUMBER OF MANUSCRIPTS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IS DIFFICULT.
IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD FROM US AFTER 90 DAYS, PLEASE INQUIRE AS TO THE STATUS OF YOUR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION.
