Submissions at Xenoloop
We welcome proposals and manuscripts that align with Xenoloop’s imprints and editorial direction. Our approach is editorial-first: we look for clear purpose, strong craft, and a real readership.
Before submitting : please review the sections below so we can assess your work efficiently and fairly.
What to Submit
Option A: Book Proposal (recommended for most projects)
A proposal helps us evaluate fit, audience, positioning, and scope before you complete the full manuscript. Major publishers commonly assess projects this way.
Your proposal should include:
1.Working Title + Category/Genre + Imprint (if known)
2.One-paragraph pitch (what it is + why it matters)
3.Synopsis / Overview (1–3 pages)
4.Audience & market positioning (who it’s for + comparable titles)
5.Table of Contents + chapter summaries (short, clear outline)
6.Sample material (1–3 chapters or 8,000–15,000 words)
7.Author bio (credentials, platform, past publications if any)
8.Estimated word count + timeline (if incomplet
Option B: Full Manuscript (when complete)
If your manuscript is complete, submit it along with a short proposal-style overview (items 1–4 above).
What We Consider
We evaluate submissions for:
- – Fit with our imprints
- – Originality and clarity
- – Structure and readability
- – Audience relevance
- – Author voice and authority
- – Feasibility (length, timeline, permissions, production needs)
Manuscript Formatting Guidelines
Keep formatting clean and minimal at the submission stage—design happens later.
Please use:
- – DOC/DOCX (preferred) or PDF
- – 12 pt font, double-spaced text, numbered pages
- – Simple headings (avoid heavy styling)
- – If you use citations/notes, keep them consistent (endnotes/footnotes are fine)
Images, Figures, and Third-Party Material
If your manuscript contains:
- – photos, charts, illustrations, tables from elsewhere
- – long excerpts from copyrighted works
- – content owned by another party
…you must identify them clearly. Rights and permissions are a standard part of publishing, and permissions may be required for third-party material.
(If you’re unsure, submit anyway and flag it—we’ll guide you.)
