Submission Guidelines

Submissions Status: Impactful Publishing is accepting queries.

Impactful Publishing is in search of powerful stories from emerging authors needing a great home. We do have a small range of genres we prefer and some others we’ll consider, so be sure to familiarize yourself with what we’re seeking. If your work doesn’t fit neatly in one genre, as long as it’s not solidly in our “Not For Us” category, send it to us anyway. For length, we’re mostly searching for full-length novels, but will consider impactful novellas as well (No shorter than 20K words).

• Our primary focus in Fiction: Commercial, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Religion, Mystery, Suspense/Thriller

• Our primary focus in Non-Fiction: Religion (Christian & Inspirational), Self Help

• We are NOT right for:  Chic-lit, Romance, Erotic, Chapter Books, Early Readers, Literary, Horror (unless you think you're the next Stephen King), Short Stories (including collections). 

To submit a QUERY, fill out the Contact Form Below and you will be contacted to submit your official Query. 

​

We like to see well-written, concise letters that include your bio and any relevant writing experience. If you can make us want to read your manuscript in three sentences, you’re already ahead of the game. We do not open unsolicited attachments.

​

We try respond to each inquiry but if we have not responded in 3 months, feel free to follow up. 

​

If we do request a manuscript, our turnaround time can be a few days to three months, so please be patient. We will also ask you for a book proposal at this time so we suggest you have this information handy. As before, nudge us at the three-month mark if we have not responded to your book proposal, but only after that time has passed. We know you’re eager to hear, and we’re eager to find, but we can’t field calls and respond to emails asking what’s going on if we’re reading and searching. Which brings us to our no phone calls request.

​

If you still have questions, we have an Author FAQ  page that may address them, or you can always use a method on our Contact Us page to reach out to us.
