Are You a Blogger and/or Book Reviewer?
Contact us to request a free PDF review copy of any of our published books. We appreciate reviews being left for our books on AMAZON, GOODREADS, LIBRARYTHING, your blog, and shared to your social media. If we had to choose just one place for you to leave a review, though, it would be Amazon or GoodReads.
Submit to our Blog:
Looking for short stories (no more than 3,000 words), poems, articles, reviews. Well written, error free. No payment for blog publication. Exposure only. On average, we get just over 700 visitors a day, each post gets shared to all my social media, with a reach of over 5,000 followers. Each blog post also has it's own URL which means you can bookmark it and share it to your website and social media. If we are publishing a book of yours, especially nonfiction, it is highly recommended that you submit articles or short excerpts from your book on occasion because this is great publicity for your book.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not respond to blog submissions to confirm we received them. We do not email you back to let you know when it is posted on the blog, either. By submitting something for the blog, you are agreeing to have us edit or revise it as we see fit. However, that won't be necessary if it is a well-written piece. Preference is given to blog submissions that are well-written, free of major errors, and have all the information in them that we need. By this I mean your bio, website links, or whatever else you want posted along with your submission should be included if you want them to be posted because we will not email you asking for these things. Make it easy on us by not sending pictures. Text only is better unless you submit an HTML formatted blog post. That's even easier on us! We apologize for not being able to acknowledge receipt of blog submissions or notify you when they're posted, but we receive literally hundreds of emails daily, and if we are to focus on our book manuscripts, we simply cannot stretch ourselves too thin. Our policy is to add incoming blog submissions to the slush pile only if they look like something we actually want to use, and it will get posted when we get around to it. You will not receive a confirmation that we received it, and will not receive an email letting you know when it is posted. Therefore we ask that you sign up for the RSS feed or follow us on Facebook or Twitter if you want to be able to see when your submission is posted. Answering emails takes one person 8-10 hours a day. That's how many we receive on a daily basis. Although we do want submissions for the blog, and are thankful to receive them, we don't have the time to personally respond and notify you that yours is being published. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

Have You Written a Complete Novel or Do You Have an Idea for One?
We are currently accepting manuscripts for publication.
Your query will grab our attention and have a better chance of being accepted if you have a platform and a marketing plan. We want to know that you aren't relying on us to do all the PR work for your book. We are a small company and we rely on our authors to help promote their own book. When querying, tell us about your website, social media presence, and all the ways you can help sell your book. Are you planning to speak at conferences because you are an expert in your field? Are you planning to go to conventions to set up a table and sell your fiction book?
We will do our part in promoting the books we publish. We have a team of marketers actively working to promote each book in a variety of ways upon release and throughout the term of the contract. Please keep in mind that we use PRINT ON DEMAND services so that we don't have exorbitant up-front costs associated with each book and don't have to worry about storage space. Because we use print on demand, we are able to take chances on new authors and on small niche titles and genres that might otherwise get rejected due to concerns about marketability.
We have a team of professional editors, graphic artists, and formatters that we use to create high quality finished books. We are always honored when an author chooses Dreaming Big as a home for their work. We look forward to each new manuscript that we receive. Not every manuscript will be a good fit, and unfortunately we cannot accept everything that comes our way. In order to give the attention to every author and manuscript that they deserve, we must keep our list small. If we accept your manuscript, your baby becomes our baby, too, and we invest a huge amount of time into making it something we are all proud to have our name on.
