Secta Publishing, was set up as an antidote to the traditional publishing industry. We are a small independent publisher, who specialises in first time authors.
There are many great writers out there, with an amazing story to tell. At the moment, the way the publishing industry is set up, they just don’t get the chance. Secta Publishing was set up to give them that chance. To give you, that chance.
If you know you’re a great writer with a story to tell, why don’t you get in touch with us. You won’t regret it, and after years of people saying no; you could finally get someone to say yes.
What we do
We have a submissions team that read every submission. All submissions are shared amongst them, and are discussed together. We know how valuable your work is to you, and how much effort and time you have put into it. We think it deserves our fullest consideration.
What we don't accept
Memoirs
Picture Books
Poetry
We will endeavour to get back to you within 10 weeks if we are interested in taking things further. Sadly, with the number of submissions we receive, we cannot respond to everyone individually. If you haven't received a response from us by then, please consider it as a no on our part.
What you need to do
Firstly, make sure your work is the best you can make it. The worst thing you can do, is to submit it before it's ready. Remember the old saying, 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression'. Your work should be double checked, edited, and proof read.
Once you are sure it is ready, then send it to us. Fill in the submissions form, giving us as much information as you can. There is a section for a cover letter (Max 500 words), and a synopsis (Max 1500 words). Lastly, attach the first 3 chapters of your book (Max 10,000 words). As a PDF or DOC file. This should be 12 point double spaced, in a clear font like Times New Roman, complete with page numbers. Make sure you add your name and email on the first page.
