Submissions are currently open. 

Please follow the instructions below to submit your work to Exisle. Due to the high volume of submissions received, you will only hear back if we are interested in publishing your book in its current format. Submissions are typically assessed within 8-12 weeks.

Submission instructions:

We welcome submissions and suggestions for publishing from literary agents and from new and established authors.

All submissions and publishing ideas, no matter what market they are intended for, must be emailed to [email protected] with ‘[THE TITLE OF YOUR BOOK] – Exisle Publishing Submission‘ as the subject line.

To ensure that appropriate attention is given to your submission, we request the following:

  • Your complete manuscript (or as many sample chapters as you can provide) in Word Doc format – the more we can see of your book the better equipped we will be to make a positive decision
  • Your submission must be accompanied by:
    • A written proposal (we suggest 2–4 pages), explaining why your book should be published, who will buy the book (i.e. the intended audience), and why and how it is different from other books on the subject (be specific and refer to any competing titles that you know of).
    • A chapter breakdown of the contents of the manuscript (normally 1–2 pages).
    • A list of any previous work you have had published and some background information about yourself. Specify your qualifications for writing the book.
    • Information about your platform, including social media, website, and newsletter following and other professional or personal networks you bring to the book.

We receive hundreds of submissions every month, and all manuscripts are carefully read and assessed. However, we can only respond to a very limited number of submissions we receive.
