IMPORTANT NOTICE – Due to an overwhelmingly full project schedule, ALL SUBMISSIONS of unsolicited novels and novellas are now CLOSED. We open just a few months every year and once we fill our calendar we have to close. Watch our website for an announcement when we'll reopen for all submissions.

Before sending submissions to L&L Dreamspell, or any publisher for that matter, authors should make sure their work is well edited and as polished as possible. Join writer groups and critique groups, either in person or on-line - they'll help you find common mistakes that you can't see!

Make sure you submit what we want to read - check the genre list, then format your sample according to our guidelines. Never send a submission in the body of an email! Don't send a full manuscript until one is requested. And be sure you send your submission to the correct email box.

Most publishing contracts have the same set of elements - check our contract page for an overview. L&L Dreamspell uses standard terms and elements found in comparable small press publishing contracts. If you have questions please contact our Publishing desk: Publishing@lldreamspell.com

Short stories are a great way for authors to add to their publishing credits - L&L Dreamspell has a variety of anthologies in assorted genre categories. Check our Open Anthologies page - we accept stories until a book is filled then it will be put on our schedule for publication.

If you want L&L Dreamspell to consider your work for publication it is important to follow our guidelines. We accept ON LINE SUBMISSIONS ONLY- please don't mail us your manuscript. Also do NOT send your submission in the body of an email - it MUST be an attached Word Doc file. Thank you for reading our publishing section and polishing your work before you send us a sample!

Before you submit anything to any publisher, click on the PUBLISHING REALITY CHECK button to the left - read our tell-it-like-it-is article about the "Small Press Experience" - make the right choice when you choose a publisher for your manuscript!
