Submissions
At INCLUDAS Publishing, we are all about bringing disability diversity to readers. This also means working with a diverse group of authors and illustrators. Our submission criteria: 1. the author/illustrator identifies with a particular disability/chronic illness, and/or 2. the main character of the story is disabled. Fiction only. We are looking for manuscripts ranging from children’s picture books to mystery novels.
Great! Now go write your idea down! This is the perfect time to stretch your creativity and imagination to build awesome characters. No matter the genre, romance or mystery, character agency and world building are fundamental parts. Remember, it’s important to read other books in your genre topic.
Awesome! Now that you’ve researched the market place and crafted your story from your ideas, it’s time to get feedback on it. Get to know and interact with other authors writing in your genre. Use writing resource blogs, writing workshops, critique groups, beta readers, and professional editors to help improve your story.
Congratulations! Now that you’ve had your story critiqued, edited, and rewritten, it’s time to consider publishing. When it comes to publishing a book, it’s important to know what that means. This way you can figure out if you would like to self-publish, submit to an agent, or be accepted into a small press. If you are not sure what this means, ask your fellow writers and join organizations. You can also check out The Key Book Publishing Path by Jane Friedman.
If you have a polished manuscript and understand the basics of the publishing industry, submit to us!
For unagented submissions, we REQUIRE each manuscript be edited by at least one professional developmental editor in the chosen genre PRIOR to submission.
