Submissions

Dreamsphere Books is a publisher of fantasy, science fiction, and other genre fiction. Our main goal is to excite the reader, to take their imagination to new worlds or on adventures that allow them to escape reality. We are currently seeking submissions in the categories listed below.

Authors will receive full editing, cover art, and marketing support from Dreamsphere Books. Submissions are expected to be well-written, well-edited, and reasonably error-free.

First, a few general details: 

Genres: We are primarily seeking submissions of fantasy, science fiction, horror, thriller, and mystery. We are open to submissions in other genres too. If you are writing queer young adult please visit deepheartsya.com and if you are writing adult romance or erotica please visit deepdesirespress.com.

Social Media and Self-Promotion: When submitting, please include relevant links in your query letter.

Rights: Dreamsphere Books will seek ebook, print, and audio rights from the author. We decide on publishing in audio on a case-by-case basis. Contracts are for three years from publication, renewed on an annual basis thereafter.

New Content: We are primarily looking for new works only. However, if your work has been previously published and you currently hold full rights, we will still consider it, but please let us know in your query.

What we’re looking for: 

Current wants / don't wants:

  • ​Want
    • Sci-fi and fantasy that breaks out of the genres' conventions and bends the mind
    • Horror that makes us sleep with the lights on (preference for paranormal)
    • Thriller that gets us tearing through the pages
    • Westerns that make us love the genre all over again
    • Diverse representation in our lead characters is ideal
    • Spicy scenes are welcome
  • Don't Want
    • Short stories or novellas

Novels:

Genres: All

Length: 70,000 - 100,000 words

How to submit: 

Please query via email to publisher@dreamspherebooks.com, with the following items:

  • Query Letter
    • This is a brief introductory letter outlining who you are, what your book is about, the length of your book, your plans for sequels (if any), and relevant social media links.
  • Synopsis, either as an attachment or pasted in the body of your email
    • A synopsis is a 1-2 page summary of your book that outlines your entire plot in non-salesy language. It describes the full story arc of your book, including every significant character, key plot points, and the full ending. Everything gets shared and nothing is kept hidden as a surprise for the submissions team.
  • Complete Manuscript
    • We require the complete manuscript, not a sample or excerpt.
    • This must come as an attachment and not as a link to an online document.

Submissions missing any of these items will be returned unread, with a request to resubmit with all required items.

Please do not share files with us as links to Google Docs or other online file sharing systems. Rather, include the attachment(s) as a DOC or DOCX file.

We do not accept manuscripts created with the assistance of AI.

At present, response time is within three to eight weeks.
