Manuscript submissions
Once you have a complete manuscript, send it to us, as per the guidelines below. NB: Do not submit to Sleepers until your manuscript is finished. Email us a file no larger than 2 megs attention Louise. Send us your completed manuscript, along with a synopsis, and a short author’s bio, all in Word .doc format. Let us know how you heard of Sleepers. Please do not send an enquiry email asking if we are interested in seeing any of your manuscript and do not send hard copies; just email the synopsis, the manuscript, and a short author bio – all as Word documents.
We are accepting works by local, national and international writers.
