Living Waters Publishing Company

Our desire is to make the submissions process as painless as possible. Please follow these guidelines carefully when submitting your manuscript to us. Be sure that you and your manuscript are ready for this process. The publishing process can take as little as four months or as much as twenty-four months. It can be a painstaking process with edits and re-writes, illustrations and design, bound galleys and reviews, and a host of other considerations.

Here are our submissions requirements:

Please send your manuscript in Microsoft Word format, disc or via email. A brief synopsis, prior writing credits and a one page marketing plan must also be included. If you are a professional, please include your experience and how it relates to your book.

We do not accept simultaneous submissions. Our consideration process can take as little as a week or as much as three months. Please be patient!

We rarely consider previously published works. Please indicate if that is the case at the time of your submission.

Please send your submissions to the Manuscript Review Committee, Jessica Davis, at acquisitions@livingwaterspc.com, or mail it to:

P.O. Box 1361

Other Considerations

Please make sure your digital files are not double-spaced. We prefer single spacing.

Use only one space after your punctuation. We do not use two spaces when publishing books.

If you are writing a novel, please only submit the first three chapters.

Get Ahead of the Crowd

When you get ready to submit your manuscript, please make sure it is free from spelling errors and that it is formatted properly.

Avoid sending a manuscript of total colored ink. 

DO NOT put your synopsis inside your actual manuscript file.

Make sure your synopsis is two paragraphs or less.

Make sure your marketing plan is composed of what you plan to do only! Make sure it is realistic.
