SUSPENSE/THRILLER/PARANORMAL Call for Submissions

Novel length at 65-85,000 words.

Whispers of Mysteria --Mysteria Island, a small strip of land off the coast of Oregon, harbors many secrets. Nasty things hiding in the fog...

A new resident is drawn to the quaint hominess of the island, but can s/he survive the evil that lurks beneath the surface, or the residents bound to protect the secrets hiding within. Must include psychic elements in either characterization or town/island secrets.

Send your submission with complete package (see below for guidelines) to Judy Gill, at submissions@champagnebooks.com. Call is open until all six books in the series are contracted.


Guidelines

Only submit finished, original works please. 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, but please include contact information on the top line of each attachment, so that we are able to contact you should your submission get separated from your query letter.

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. Please give your synopsis an appropriate title, not simply 'synopsis'. ie: Synopsis-The Winner.

3) First three chapters, saved in RTF format and attached to your email. Please name your partial manuscript appropriately, ie: Partial-The Winner.

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.
