We will not read submissions that are attached to an email. Your submission must be in the body of the email.
If your book has been published before, please let us know in your query letter.
Please don't email us more than once. If you don't hear from us within a few weeks, please email info@crazednovelist.com and we'll check to make sure your submission reached our inbox.
We will not accept submissions or pitches via social media, telephone, in person, or other means outside of our preferred methods mentioned above.

AI-generated books
children's picture books
cookbooks

Illustrated books or books reliant on illustrations, images, or photographs (when in doubt, email us and we can discuss)
