Submission Guidelines

We are highly selective and only consider 3–5 new titles per year for publication under our imprint. We accept submissions that are:

  • Fiction or nonfiction (please specify genre)
  • Complete manuscripts (not proposals)
  • Original, thoughtful, and voice-driven
  • Polished drafts (while we offer editing, we don’t accept first drafts)


To Submit:

Please send the following to submissions@purpleaardvarkpub.com

  1. A brief author bio
  2. A one-page synopsis (be sure to include your target audience and any goals for the book)
  3. The first 3 chapters (or approx. 30 pages)
  4. A brief statement about why you think your book fits our mission


We will respond within 4–6 weeks
if we are interested in moving forward. Thank you for considering us to help you on your publishing journey.
