For authors and creators
Send Us Your Story
Every published work begins with someone deciding it is ready to be seen. If you have created something thoughtful, distinctive or genuinely useful, we would like to hear about it. Tell us what you have written, who it is for and why Jakione Publishing could be the right home for it.
You can use the guidance below to prepare your work for when submissions reopen.
Prepare your submission
Prepare a covering note, a short pitch, a synopsis and a short biography. Tell us who the work is for, which titles it sits alongside, how much you have written and the approximate word count or running time. For prose, prepare the first three chapters or an appropriate sample. For picture books, illustrated work, audio or multimedia, prepare a sample that shows how words, visuals or sound work together. The first enquiry asks for a pitch and synopsis. Keep your sample ready in case we ask for it separately.
Keep an exact copy of everything you submit. Please keep original artwork and irreplaceable materials with you.
What happens next
- You receive an automated acknowledgement.
- We check whether the submission is complete and fits our list.
- Suitable work goes to initial editorial review.
- We may request additional material.
- Any next step or offer is communicated separately in writing.
