We have no definitive preference for what are looking for, we enjoy a variety of genres and styles and consider anything. If it's good enough for us we'll take it. We are fine with previously published work in a book, but it isn't essential, and should preferably not be more than 50% of the full MS. We are happy to look at translations - but keep in mind that we do facing-page and would require both the original language and the translated language.
If you need to email regarding a query please email aaron@brokensleepbooks.com as the submissions email address is not checked during submission windows. Any submissions sent to aaron@brokensleepbooks.com will be discarded without being read. We hope to respond to all submissions within 8-10 weeks of the closing date.
Please consider buying a book so you know what we produce and how we publish, though this will not affect your chances at all.
We are sorry but we are unable to give feedback to any submissions we don't take on, this is simply because we get so many submissions that we just don't have the time. You can, however, use the editorial service to pay for feedback if you wish.
E-BOOKS
We used to sell PDFs, we don't anymore as we wish to focus on physical books. HOWEVER, we are happy to offer PDFs of our books to anybody who emails. We are doing this to ensure people who can't afford our books, and people who have access issues, and therefore require e-books, are still able to access our catalogue.
