Submissions
Books – Blog – art – essays – aRTICLES
While we are happy to publish in many genres, including Poetry, Children Books, Self-help, Fantasy, Science-Fiction, Non-Fiction and more, we focus much more specifically on publishing certain themes. We do also require storytelling elements, or a narrative in your book, rather than purely academical or information based publications. If your work embraces the surreal and fantastical, is unique, dreamlike, positive, spiritual, mystical, magical and awakens us all further, then make sure to send us your work.
We are now happy to offer numerous opportunities for writers and artists alike. Further down this page you will find a range of submission options, whether you wish to publish a book with us, make money from blog posts and articles, share your poetry, short stories and illustrations, or promote your stunning cover art. We are looking for all kinds of talented individuals to help boost our content. If you would like an ongoing relationship with us, we are ready to offer substantial freelance contracts with writers and artists. If you would like to submit some work, do send an email to: submissions@sleepylionpublishing.com
Do make sure to state what kind of submission your are looking to publish. Additionally, if you have any questions, do send an email to: enquiries@sleepylionpublishing.com or get in contact through our contact page.
Finally, all work must be completely original, and you must have full copyright permission to share the work.
Book publishing
If you are looking to publish your latest book, then do make sure to check out our about us page for an update on our publishing process. Additionally, if you have any questions, do feel free to send us an email at:
enquiries@sleepylionpublishing.com
Otherwise, do send us an email with an online A4 page summary of your work, the first chapter attached as a word or pdf, and a little background about your book, yourself and why you might wish to publish with us. Make sure to check out the top of this page for book themes we are looking for. Any submission content can be sent to:
Blog posts and articles
If you are a great content writer, and or you are simply looking to share your ideas and research, then do feel free to check our blog post and Blog for information on what we are currently looking for. Alternatively, you are welcome to get in contact if you would like to check your article topic, or, if you would rather tailor a particular blog post beforehand, then do send us an email at:
Submissions@sleepylionpublishing.com
If you are simply looking to share your poetry, short stories and ideas non-exlusively, with links to your website and social media, then we are happy to help spread your creativety! We are looking to start poem, short story and book cover of the week, so make sure to get in contact now!
Alternatively, we do offer £0.05 per word for exclusive use of your writing if you wish to make money from your work. Most posts we are looking for are between 500 to 1000 words. We pay a minimum of £5, for works of poetry for example, that might be shorter than an article.
Submissions of longer works might be part of a series of posts, or, available through our upcoming Patreon service. If you are looking to sell your work directly, then we can look at a royalty contract instead or through a direct payment.
Cover art and illustrations
We are also looking for new artists, designers and illustrators to help with book covers and inside illustrations. Please do send your portfolio to:
submissions@sleepylionpublishing.com
Additionally, we are also looking to expand our merchandise. If you are a great designer, wanting to create beautiful illustrations based around writing, reading, and publishing, then make sure to get in contact. We can offer to buy the exclusive rights, or advertise your work through a royalty based contract.
If you have any questions, do feel free to send an email to:
enquiries@sleepylionpublishing.com
Opportunities
We are looking to offer plenty of opportunities to writers, editors, proofreaders, and illustrators in the following years. If you are interested in a long term contract with our company, then do feel free to send an email to:
Enquiries@sleepylionpublishing.com
At the moment most of our contracts will follow a part-time freelance format, although do feel free to ask any questions about our potential relationship and the process this might take. Similarly to how we engage with our authors, we wish to individualise our contracts to suit your needs and strengths as much as possible.
