Manuscript Submission Process

Please note that due to the vast numbers of manuscripts we receive, New Hope is currently unable to accept unsolicited manuscripts. If you are interested in having a manuscript considered for publication, we recommend that you enlist the services of an established literary agent; particularly one associated with the Christian Publishing industry. We also recommend that you review books like The Christian Writer’s Market Guide by Sally E. Stuart as a resource. This book includes writer’s guidelines and submission procedures for all Christian publishing houses that do accept unsolicited manuscripts.

Additional information about literary agents and guidelines for submitting manuscripts to agents can be found through Bowker’s Literary MarketPlace at www.LiteraryMarketPlace.com. If you are interested in having someone read and review your work, a manuscript critique service is another alternative. Please consult the Editorial Services section of Literary Market Place (LMP), published by R.R. Bowker, New Providence, New Jersey. It lists over 500 entries, many of which provide some kind of critique service.

If you have had a personal conversation with one of our New Hope team members regarding your work, please contact that individual regarding manuscript submission guidelines.

May you find God’s blessings to be abundantly rich as you serve our Lord through your gift of writing.
