LUNA is on the lookout for fresh, captivating stories that have yet to be published, particularly in the genres of historical fiction, cosy crime, and fantasy. We believe that the power of storytelling lies in its ability to transport readers to different worlds while also weaving together intricate plots and relatable characters.
In historical fiction, we seek manuscripts that delve into lesser-known events or figures, bringing history to life through rich narratives and vivid descriptions. Whether set in ancient civilizations or more recent eras, we want to see how authors can breathe new life into the past.
For cozy crime, we’re eager to discover charming mysteries that engage readers with suspenseful plots and endearing protagonists. We seek stories that strike a balance between intrigue and warmth, as well as an inviting atmosphere that encourages readers to engage with the characters and solve mysteries alongside them.
Lastly, in the realm of fantasy, we are interested in innovative worlds complete with unique systems of magic, diverse cultures, and compelling quests. We hope to find inventive narratives that push the boundaries of imagination while resonating with universal themes.
Luna Eden Publishing welcomes submissions that challenge conventions, offering readers new adventures that spark curiosity and delight.
At Luna Eden Publishing, we believe that publishing should be a collaborative process between authors, editors, designers, and readers. We are committed to providing a platform that fosters creativity, supports diverse voices, and connects writers with their readers.
English language only, please.
First and foremost, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your interest in sharing your manuscript with Luna.
*Whilst we understand that fiction can either exclude or portray people in a negative light, we would encourage our authors to write about these issues in a balanced way.
Consider this before sending your pitch:
What guidance would be provided at the cinema? If it's an 18, please don't send it. We would love to see anything 15, 12, PG, or Universal.
Please note that we are not looking for Graphic violence or erotica.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion encompass people from diverse racial, ethnic, religious, ability, gender, and sexual orientation backgrounds.
When submitting your literary work, it's important to provide a complete overview of it. This should include the title of your piece, its length, genre, and a brief premise, as well as a pitch of up to 500 words. Additionally, you should clearly identify your targeted audience and explain how your book fits into the current market landscape. Lastly, don't forget to include a brief bio that showcases your writing qualifications or experience. (Luna Eden Publishing will accept a link to your author page.) It is a tall order, but it can be done. Please keep it in standard font (no handwriting fonts).
Rest assured, we are committed to transparency and fairness throughout the process. We will judge each case on a case-by-case basis, and you can negotiate your contract. However, our standard offering falls somewhere between 40% and 50%, with 10% of the total royalties allocated to marketing your book.
The process of publishing a book is a comprehensive undertaking that requires a great deal of dedication and hard work. It can take up to six months to go from the initial draft to the final edit, with an additional three months required for cover design and formatting.
We now have a dedicated brand that publishes books that have been pre-published either by another publishing house or self-published, and your book can be pitched there.
Of course, you can send us your submission. However, please note that due to our policy of not accepting submissions from outside this area, it is unlikely we will request further information. If you need clarification regarding our decision, please feel free to email us via our contact page.
We are dedicated to responding as swiftly as possible if we are interested and require a telephone number so that we may contact you by phone or text. If you have not heard back from us within 20 working days, we regret to inform you that you are unsuccessful.
