  USING SUBMITTABLE

  Cedar Fort accepts all manuscript and product submissions through Submittable.  This form provides access to Submittable by allowing creators to sign into an existing account or be prompted to make a free account. Submissions through other channels, including physical manuscripts being mailed, risk being undiscovered or discarded. We only accept electronic manuscripts at this time.

  
  

  Read and follow the submission guidelines very carefully as failure to do so may result in premature rejection or significant delays in processing. 

  
  

  The average submission consideration process takes thirty (30) days with consideration for major US holidays. Contact inquiring about submissions before this standard review period is not appreciated and only cause more delays in the work load for our acquisitions team. 

  
  

  If your manuscript is submitted simultaneously to other publishers and is accepted elsewhere, we request the courtesy of letting us know so we can remove your manuscript from the acquisitions review process.
