Submissions
Submission Guidelines
Top Publications is a small press located in Dallas Texas that publishes primarily
mainstream fiction. Most of our authors do not have agents. Being a small press we
can't guarantee your book will be picked up by the major chains or independent
bookstores. Generally the only way for a new author to get their new book in a store
is to have a book signing there. Unless you are willing to have 50 to 100 signings
during your first year, there is little likelihood that your book will be successful.
Therefore please don't submit your work to us unless you are willing to make this
commitment. TOP gives its authors the opportunity to get published, but their
success will depend mainly on their own efforts.
If you are willing to make this commitment and would like TOP to consider publishing
your book, please send us a query letter by email to submissions@toppub.com. Let
us know something about yourself, the book, and your marketing ideas for it. We will
evaluate your submission and if we want to see more, we'll let you know. If we do
decide to publish your work, it will usually take 9 to 12 months to get you in print.
TOP is a traditional publisher and pays a small advance to its authors upon signing
a contract.
TOP is an author friendly publisher. If we publish your book we will keep you fully
informed as to what's going on. We believe in establishing and maintaining a close
relationship with our authors so that we can help them be successful.
REMEMBER EMAIL SUBMISSIONS ONLY - WE WILL NOT RESPOND TO
QUERIES, SAMPLE CHAPTERS, OR MANUSCRIPTS RECEIVED BY MAIL
