Halsbren Publishing is interested in first rights publishing. We do not want to review any manuscripts of works which have been previously published in any format.

Manuscripts are not expected to have been professionally edited, but the sample is expected to be relatively free of errors in order to showcase the author’s absolute best writing.

If a full read of the manuscript is requested, you will be notified via email within 12 weeks. If you do not hear back regarding your manuscript within that time-frame, feel free to send another email to inquire as to your status.
