Morgan James Publishing accepts both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts from authors who are passionate about their message.

Morgan James is committed to the highest standards of publishing. Therefore, we require a formal submission and will evaluate your material by the following criteria.

We’re looking for stories with vivid writing that uses all five senses, painting scenes through words so the reader is placed right into the action.

All fiction manuscripts must be line-edited prior to submission and will be evaluated on the following criteria:
  • Is the manuscript 80,000 words or less?
  • Does the story have a compelling pace, strong climax, and suspenseful or unexpected ending?
  • Does the manuscript “show” more often than “tell” the story?
  • Is there at least one character arc? Do you get to know the characters quickly in the book?
  • Are the characters fully developed, growing, and changing throughout the story?

We expect our authors to have a current, engaged platform demonstrating a strong ability to sell books and actively support the marketing of their books, both before they are published and in the months (and years) after that. Towards this end, we want to work closely with our authors to educate them on book marketing approaches and best practices.
