Open Call for Manuscript Submissions – Vee Press

Submission Guidelines:




Vee Press is accepting submissions for our upcoming e-book line. We are actively seeking talented writers who have completed a novel-length manuscript or have written more than 10 chapters of an ongoing work. Writers who are willing to work with us through our fast-paced publishing cycle are especially welcome.



We are considering both popular non-fiction and fiction titles on any topic, with a great preference for plots or subjects that concern the Philippines and its culture. Both non-professional and established authors are welcome, but any work submitted to us must not have been previously published, including self-publishing, in print or online. Self-published works are considered published.



We are looking for:

Manuscripts with a projected length of between 60,000 and 75,000 words. We are currently not considering works that go above the maximum word count, but we will consider pitches for potential series.

A fresh premise that can be conveyed as a paragraph-length (5 sentences maximum) pitch.

Non-fiction that takes a popular (mainstream, non-academic) approach on their subject matter.

For fiction, works in any genre that mix engaging storytelling with exciting plot and compelling characters.



Further guidelines:

Please make sure the copyright and publishing rights are not owned by other parties. Unpublished manuscripts optioned by companies or organizations are not up for consideration.

Works that are based on material (television, literature, etc.) that have not entered public domain are not accepted.

If excerpts of the work have been previously published, we ask the authors to include this information upon submission.

Submission Requirements:



Email the complete manuscript and a full synopsis (beginning to end) as Microsoft Word (*.doc) attachments to kautencio@vibalfoundation.org. The manuscript and synopsis should be two separate files. Please make sure that the file extension is not *.docx or any other variation.

The manuscript should be set in either 12 point Courier New or 14 point Times New Roman, with double-spaced lines. Margins should be set at 1 inch on all sides. Please do not include page numbers, headers or footers in your manuscript.

In the body of your email include a brief description of the novel, estimated word count, and your publishing history (if any) such as previous books, awards, and quotes from other authors or reviews.

Include the working title and your name in the email’s subject line.

Authors who intend to publish using a pseudonym are still required to furnish us with the information mentioned above.
