Submission Guidelines

Submission period is open from January 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024.

Thank you for your interest in Water’s Edge Press.

Water’s Edge Press is a small imprint. We can offer our authors personal service, superior design quality, and profit sharing. However, we cannot compete with mainstream publishers in most ways. If you will settle for nothing less than making it on the New York Times Bestseller list, we suggest that you first query literary agents and work toward a traditional publishing contract.

If you’re willing to do most of your marketing work on your own, we’re happy to take a look.

We are not an editing service. Submit only manuscripts that are fully revised and edited for publication.

Be sure to read submission guidelines, specific for each genre.
