For Authors – Submit Your Manuscript

We know how much time and energy goes into writing a manuscript. At Avon Soft Press, we respect that effort and offer a clear, honest path for authors who want to publish professionally. Whether you’re working on your first book or you’ve been writing for years, our goal is to help you understand what we look for and how to submit.

What We Publish

We consider a variety of projects, with a focus on:

  • Fiction with strong characters and a clear voice
  • Non-fiction that informs, inspires or offers practical value
  • Professional and educational content written by experts
  • Local and regional stories connected to communities like Avon, IN

We are selective, but we welcome both new and previously published authors.

How to Prepare Your Submission

To help us review your work efficiently, please prepare the following:

  • A brief synopsis (1–2 pages) describing the premise, key themes and target audience.
  • A sample of your manuscript (typically the first 3 chapters or up to 50 pages).
  • A short author bio outlining your background, relevant experience and previous publications (if any).
  • Your contact details, including email and phone number.

Please ensure your manuscript is formatted in a readable font, with double spacing and numbered pages.

How to Submit

Submissions can be sent via the form or email listed on our Contact page. Include “Manuscript Submission” in the subject line, along with your name and project title. Attach your materials as PDF or Word files unless otherwise specified.

We acknowledge receipt of submissions and strive to respond within a reasonable timeframe. Response times can vary depending on volume, but we do our best to provide clear communication.

Our Evaluation Process

When we receive your submission:

1. We review your synopsis and sample chapters.

2. If the project seems like a potential fit, we request the full manuscript.

3. Our editorial team evaluates the full work and discusses its potential with you.

4. If we mutually decide to move forward, we present a publishing proposal and outline the next steps.

Throughout this process, you will receive straightforward feedback — whether we can proceed or not.

What Authors Can Expect

If we choose to work together, you can expect:

  • A structured editorial process with revisions and guidance.
  • Professional design and production support.
  • Clear information about rights and responsibilities.
  • Realistic expectations for timelines and promotional efforts.

We see publishing as a partnership. Our job is to provide expertise, tools, and support; your job is to bring the story or ideas that only you can share.

If you believe your project might be a good fit for Avon Soft Press, we’d be honored to take a look.
