We are not accepting submissions for non-fiction. For YA and above, we are only looking for novels of 60k words or more.
We are looking for authors who are active on social media, who are working hard to build their audience and readership, and who are willing to work hard at both collaborative and individual marketing strategies before and long after publication. We want authors who love working as a team member and are ready to become a part of our Whimsical family. We also want authors who are excited to see their stories become the best they possibly can be through the editing processes.
The material submitted must be the Author’s entire original creative work. (Please do not send partial manuscripts.) We do not accept foreign language submissions (English only). Whimsical Publishing does not support the use of AI plagiarism technology and will utilize resources available to ensure the work was not created with the use of AI software.

A submission here to Whimsical Publishing is for traditional publishing only, there will be no cost incurred by the Author, and the whole cost for producing and publishing the work is covered by us, the publisher. If we are interested in a manuscript we will offer a contract to obtain the rights from the Author with royalties after the book has earned out.
