Submissions
Luminis Books publishes thought-provoking literary fiction as well as young adult and middle grade fiction that explores the intricacies of human relationships.
We look for beautifully crafted prose above all—writing that is compelling and thought-provoking, stories that provide glimpses of insight, while at other times challenging readers with concepts that prompt a moment of reflection to discern.
We do not publish genre fiction in the following categories: thriller, romance, sci-fi, or chick-lit. We will consider mysteries and historical fiction that have a depth of meaning and go beyond the boundaries of typical genre fiction.
For consideration, please submit a 1-page synopsis telling us about your book, along with a 10-page sample of the manuscript. We accept only online submissions.
Please include your synopsis and 10-page sample in the body of your email message, which you can send to: editor@luminisbooks.com. We will not open any email messages with attachments—they will be deleted.
If we like your proposal, we will request the full manuscript. We respond to queries within 3 weeks. We may take up to 3 months to review a complete manuscript.
