Submission Guidelines
Pleasure Boat Studio is currently not accepting submissions and will only consider submissions from people who can donate a substantial amount to the press.
To submit your work, please email:
Please email a query that includes a brief synopsis, bio, marketing plan (if you have one), and the first 10 pages. We will let you know if we are interested in seeing the whole manuscript. We are a nonprofit and exist solely to publish and promote good writing and serve readers who are passionate about literature. We select work based on literary merit, and submissions have to be approved by our board. However, once selected, we have to determine how to fund the publication. We are looking to grants, fundraisers, author participation, or a combination of those for future publications. This is the only way Pleasure Boat can continue publishing books and this is in line with the current publishing climate. If you have a marketing plan that shows a strong social media presence or publication record, please let us know in your query as well. Thank you for your interest in working with Pleasure Boat Studio and for your understanding.
