Submissions

At this time we are actively seeking submissions of YA and middle grade fiction in all genres, and are particularly interested in stories with a depth of meaning and perhaps magical realism or science fiction.

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 will consider mysteries, historical fiction and science 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 6 weeks. We may take up to 3 months to review a complete manuscript.
