Mystic Moon Press

Submission Guidelines

Mystic Moon Press is a royalty paying e-book publishing company.  We are primarily an e-book publisher offering the very best titles in e-book format, available via direct download. We do not offer advances, but pay quarterly royalties based on retail sales and wholesale orders. Our author works are carried on our website for retail sale for up to a two (2) year period.

Mystic Moon Press charges NO fees to the author to be published in e-book format. Mystic Moon Press also provides the author with editorial services, assigned ISBN number (s), and exclusive cover art. All these services are FREE to the author.

Mystic Moon Press is always accepting submissions. Mystic Moon Press does accept simultaneous submissions, but please indicate if the work is currently under consideration with another publishing company.

We are currently looking for all genres except Poetry.

Although we encourage all writers to stretch the boundaries of the imagination, there are some exceptions that we simply will NOT allow:

We do NOT accept works that include sexual intercourse or the abuse of minors under the age of 18 in any form. Necrophilia (eww!), non-consensual sex (rape), bodily functions (i.e. golden showers), or BDSM that results in the actual death or serious injury of an individual are major no-no's.

We will also reject works where individuals are subjected to strangulation or suffocation as part of the sex act, whether self-inflicted or otherwise. Beastality is also not permitted not including Shape shifters or Aliens, or other such supernatural beings.

Note: Rape may be used as part of the plot action, especially supporting character development, but MAY NOT be presented in a positive light. However, it can be use to stimulate erotic excitement or pleasure. (i.e. A woman can be forced into a seduction, by the male character by overriding her senses and literally taking her will power away or vice versa.)

Submissions are done in a three step process. The first step is to send, within the body of an email, a professional cover letter to submissions@mysticmoonpress.com. We are an e-book publisher and all our work is done electronically; therefore we will not be accepting paper submissions at this time. Your manuscript must be submitted in Times New Roman, 12 pt., RTF or .doc format, and 1 1/2 spaced. We will not accept any manuscripts submitted in Adobe or saved in the body of the email.

The cover letter needs to include:

Your Name
Your Home Address
Your Telephone #
Your Email
Your writing credentials and/or experience

Title of Your Book
Genre
Word Count
A fully detailed synopsis of your story (nothing chapter by chapter)

Attach a file to that email containing the full manuscript in MS Word or RTF format. We do not accept any other format other than the two stated. When you save the file, please name it the title of the manuscript included. We will notify you when we receive your submission.

No manuscript will be contracted unless it is complete and polished (Few spelling errors, punctuation and grammar). We do not contract on a synopsis. Please read your work and edit it before you submit.

Should you have anything other than what you see in our guidelines or questions regarding what Mystic Moon Press will or will not publish, please do not hesitate to email us at submissions@mysticmoonpress.com.
