Submissions Overview
Untreed Reads, LLC Highlights
Untreed Reads is an innovative ebook publishing house that is committed to the promotion and visibility of its authors throughout the publishing industry. We are now accepting 2010 submissions for electronic-format (ebooks) full-length fiction and nonfiction titles and short stories.
In addition to full-length works, short and super-short works are always welcome. We prefer quality over the size of the work. Have a great 3,000-word idea? Terrific. 25,000? No problem. We will work with you to figure out what best suits everyone’s needs.
All genres, nonfiction and fiction, are open at this time except erotica, romance and poetry. And if you’ve found that a work you’ve written doesn’t fit into a specific genre, we’re looking for you as well. We are excited about exceptional prose, so bring us your well-crafted story.
