Manuscript Submissions
As well as being a business that creates a sustainable future for our authors and ourselves, Ilima Publishers has committed itself to being environmentally friendly, implementing the use of electronic submissions, encouraging writers to correspond and submit to us electronically.
However, it is important to note that not all work submitted to us can be accepted and published. Please bear in mind that we receive big numbers of submissions from time to time, and rejection is, unfortunately, a normal part of the process.
Therefore please refer to our Submissions Guidelines page where you will find details of the various genres we specialize in, together with relevant advice on making your submission as impelling and interesting as possible for those reading it.
Thank you for visiting our site and we welcome your return.
