• You can submit your manuscript for review whether or not you are currently working with a literary agent.

• We publish non-fiction and fiction material.

• Your work must be original. We process each manuscript through a sophisticated plagiarism-checking software system to confirm its originality. No fan-fiction.

• Manuscripts must be submitted in a Microsoft Word file or a .PDF file. No exceptions. If it is not in a Word file or a .PDF file, we will not open it.

• We do not publish poetry or children’s picture books.

• The work must be complete. We will not evaluate incomplete manuscripts.

• Edit your manuscript. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling are critical to your success.

• We do not publish books based on proposals. Write the book, then we will look at it.

• Don’t send us a link to your website. We won’t go there.

• Be patient. We get hundreds of queries each week.

• Be realistic. We only accept 1 out of every 400 manuscripts.

• Email your query and manuscript file to submissions@lasariacreative.com. Include your name and a short synopsis (1 paragraph). If you send us a computer virus, we will hunt you down and beat you with a wet squid.

Good luck and good writing.
