Starr Publishing is dedicated to producing quality literature that will inspire and intrigue for many ages to come. Starr Publishing accepts unsolicited submissions of any work of fiction and non-fiction. After all, everyone is a Starr with their own individual light. We publish novels, short stories, short story collections, biographies, novellas, and poetry. A literary agent is not required for submissions. We will not consider manuscripts that are currently on submission to another publisher unless prior arrangements have been made. It may require up to two months or more for our editors to review a manuscript. If we take longer than two months to review your manuscript, we no longer require an exclusive submission. At this time, we do not accept electronic submissions of any kind. Please send us the entire manuscript with a cover letter and a full synopsis. Do not submit handwritten material. The manuscript should be on 8 1/2″ x 11″ white paper, double-spaced, with at least 1″ margins. Please use only one side of the page, number your pages consecutively, and put the title of your novel at the top of each page. Manuscripts should always be unbound. You are entitled to Media Mail rates for literary manuscripts—ask at your local post office. Please type your name, address, phone number, and manuscript word count on the first page of your manuscript. Please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your submission, for our correspondence. Additionally, if you would like to be notified when your manuscript has been received, please include an e-mail address. Starr Publishing asks that you only send us disposable copies of your manuscript, which will be recycled in the event they are not found suitable for publication. We regret that we are not able to return submitted manuscript copies. It is not necessary for you to register or copyright your work before publication—it is protected by law as long as it has not been published. When published, we will copyright the book in the author’s name and register that copyright with the Library of Congress.
