"Many lack the originality to lack originality—dare to write what only you can."

YES! We think that is sort of “baked-in” to the DNA of a small indie publisher like Huffway Publishing House, LLC. Open submissions refers to an author sending us a transcript for review and consideration, that Huffway Publishing House, LLC did not request from the author. In other words, sending us an unsolicited submission. You may submit your transcript to us using our standard submission process.

Please understand we have finite resources able to review transcript submissions, and not every submission is a good fit for us to publish, or meets our copy and content quality standards. We are not a pro-bono editorial staff, so if a submission doesn’t meet our copy/content quality standards, we likely aren’t going to tell you what or how you could improve it. It is not unusual for weeks, even months to pass before hearing back about a manuscript submission – and in many cases, if we decline to proceed with a submission, there is no communication back to the would-be author. Following up or, “just checking to see if you got my manuscript” types of communication do not work. If we want to pursue, we will be in touch.

Submiting your transcript to us is not a guarantee, promise or even a likelyhood that we will publish, or even review your submission. IF we like your idea, and IF we see a path forward with your submission, we MAY be in touch at some time in the future. If we choose to proceed, we will contact you.

Currently, we are exploring genres in self-help, philosophy, leadership, science and technology. We offer publishing services for traditional media (printed book, Amazon Kindle, eBook), as well as digital e-publishing on our website for short stories and nouvelles.

We print and distribute soft & hard cover printed works, and eBooks through IngramSpark, which gives published works the broadest and most compatible reach in the US and abroad. Most book stores, especially the online vairation of book stores, offer their inventory from the IngramSpark database. By publishing through IngramSpark, published works become very accessible to most book stores simultaneously, without having to work with each book store. We also publish through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing for Amazon Kindle.

We offer two types of publishing engagements, consultive and imprinted. In a consultive publishing enagament our team will work with you, and guide you through the self-publishing process. You’ll create your own publishing company, purchase your own ISBN numbers, submit to the Library of Congress in your own name .. everything is about YOU being a self-publisher in a consultive enagament. You will own and fund the whole process yourself, and you are hiring us as a consultant to guide you through the process. We WILL NOT market your book for you in a consultive publishing engagement.

In an imprinted publishing engagement, WE will publish your work through our publishing company. Your work would be published as an imprint of Huffway Publishing House, LLC. We would secure the ISBN numbers, LCCNs … etc for you in our publishing company’s name, as part of the total fee. We would also offer copy/content editing services to ensure imprinted publishing standards. This would also include setting up a website for your book, and getting it set up for distribution. We WILL NOT market your book for you in an imprinted publishing engagement.

Yes! We are always looking for new publishers and project opportunities. If you’d like us to consider publishing YOUR work, please submit your manuscript to us with a 7,000-10,000 word writing sample.
