We are open to submissions
What does this mean? Read on...

Authors Reach is based on a co-operative model. We take on you, the author, rather than simply your book. If we accept you, we accept all future publications, providing you uphold your contract agreement and your books meet our criteria. 

​

If you are interested in joining us, we ask that you send us an email at authorsreach@outlook.com with 'Membership submission' in the subject line. Please address the email to Richard Hardie.

Your email should include:

  • A brief description of who you are and why you are interested in joining us.

  • Titles of previously published works and a brief description of at least one work in progress that you are seeking to publish with us.  

​

If you meet our initial requirements, we will request that you send us a synopsis of your work in progress, the first three chapters (or equivalent 10,000 words) and further details about yourself and your author journey. Please do not send us any samples unless we request them first. If we like your work, one of our directors will get back to you about the next steps. 

Please allow up to four weeks for a response before contacting us again.
