    Submit Your Manuscript

    Every publishing journey begins with a submission. Before sending your manuscript, please check that our submissions window is currently open, as we only accept new submissions during advertised reading periods. If submissions are open and your manuscript meets our guidelines, we'd love to hear from you. There is no charge to submit your work, and we never ask authors to pay to have their manuscript considered for publication.

    Editorial Review

    Our editorial team carefully reads every manuscript that meets our submission guidelines. We assess each submission for its quality, originality, market potential and how well it fits within our publishing programme. While we're unable to publish every manuscript we receive, every submission is given genuine consideration, and there is never any fee for our editorial review.

    If your manuscript is accepted for publication, our team takes care of every stage of the publishing process. From professional editing and proofreading to cover design, formatting, production, distribution and marketing, we handle everything needed to transform your manuscript into a professionally published book.

    Traditional publishing with Big Thinking Publishing is completely free for the author. We invest our time, expertise and resources into every book we publish because we believe in our authors and the stories they have to tell.
