Manuscript Submission Guidelines

  • Heirloom accepts Word (.doc), PDF (.pdf), HTML (.html or .htm), and Text (.rtf or .txt) formats.
  • Be sure to submit your manuscript as a single file.
  • Include a synopsis, query letter and contact information at the beginning of the manuscript body (3 chapters or first 30 pages).
  • If you are submitting a children's picture book, please include the entire manuscript in Adobe PDF format.
  • Unfortunately, due to our workload, Heirloom is unable to offer advice for rejected manuscripts.
  • Do not resubmit declined manuscipts.
