Guidelines

You can submit your books to be published at books@whitecatpublications.com. We accept the following genres: mystery, romance, thrillers, suspense, ghost stories and horror stories (no slasher stories, please), westerns, steampunk and fantasy.

Please submit your short stories and poetry to stories@whitecatpublications.com. We have 2,500 word limit for short stories.

We have an open submissions policy. We will read and review un-agented manuscripts and proposals for picture books, middle-grade fiction, and young adult novels. Please read the following instructions carefully. We will not review any submissions that do not follow these guidelines.

Due to the great number of submissions we receive, we cannot respond to individual submissions unless we have further interest. You may assume that after six months we are not interested in publishing your work.

You may send your work to other publishers at the same time. We do not require exclusive submissions.

FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS (for Books):

  • Include a cover letter in the body of your email (please see individual category guidelines for cover letter tips)
  • Include contact information with phone number
  • Attach manuscripts as WORD documents (preferred) or Google docs. File sizes cannot be larger than 4MB.

Also, you can submit your stories for website publications at stories@whitecatpublications.com. Again, we’d prefer short stories to be 2,500 words in length. Same rules apply. For short stories, we pay $.02 per word, you retain all rights and after six months, you have the right to shop it around!

We pay only by PayPal. If you can’t accept PayPal, we won’t deal with you.

Good luck!
