SUBMISSIONS

Until further notice, we will not be accepting queries and manuscripts. Please check back in April 2010.

Notice: Our most recent distributor just closed its doors. This is the third distributor we have lost to the economic realities of the publishing industry. And this doesn't even include other publishers who had licensed our titles for re-publication in various formats going under in the past few years. How will this impact Salvo Press? From now on we will only publish titles using Ingram's Lightning Source print on demand. We have published using this technology for nearly ten years, so this is not a huge change. What is a change is that these print on demand titles will no longer be returnable. It defeats the purpose to print a book on demand and then allow the bookstore to return this title. So, if you are an author looking for a large press run and a seven figure advance, you should look elsewhere.

Salvo Press publishes mystery, suspense, espionage and thriller novels in hardcover, trade paper and most eBook formats. We have also published a few mainstream/literary and Sci-fi novels.

We only publish original works. If your book has been published in any format, including eBook or any other method, then we will not publish your book. This includes any self publication, even if the publication was for your own promotional use or to hand out to friends and relatives. We only publish first editions.

How to contact us?  We now only accept queries by e-mail.  Please make this a one-page query with no attachments.  If we like what we see, we'll ask you to send us more as a Word file.

CURRENT NEEDS
