Getting Started
Aspiring authors now have a great opportunity to present their book proposal to the top publishers in the publishing industry – all in one easy step and for only $99 per book proposal!
Note to authors:
BMS has been created to link authors with editors at traditional publishing houses. However, if you choose to “opt-in” during the online proposal process, your work can also be reviewed by self-publishers/pay-to-publish companies. Please note, BMS reviews each publisher application before providing access to the site, and each self-publisher is carefully screened before given access to Bowker Manuscript Submissions. Publisher approval requirements are available here.Interesting Fact

"When you are a new, un-agented writer, getting a manuscript or even a proposal reading by a well-known publishing house can be extremely difficult. ChristianManuscriptSubmissions.com
bridged the distance between me and trusted publishing houses by providing a meeting ground that was truly the starting point for my career as a novelist. Since being discovered on this web site in 2003, I have written five books for Harvest House and am currently contracted for four more."
