Note for 2023 submissions:
At this time, we're not considering full-length fiction for our IngramElliott imprint (manuscripts over 55k words), children's fiction (picture books, chapter books, etc.) or non-fiction titles. We are considering manuscripts for our IE Snaps! imprint (novella-length manuscripts from 25,000 to 55,000 words).
Thank you for considering IngramElliott as your publisher. We understand the sacrifice and commitment you have made to bring your work to us. IngramElliott devotes itself to innovating and uncovering great authors with great books. We are selective in the authors we choose as they must reflect our unique brand. We closely evaluate each submission we receive for adherence to our standards and guidelines as well as marketability and audience.
In fiction, we are looking for uniqueness of story, innovative plot lines and compelling characters that translate well into film and television projects. Authors must create and maintain a strong author platform including social media. If selected, you will work with IE to create film and tv materials related to your title.
