RAMPART BOOKS SUBMISSIONS
PUBLISHING WITH US
Rampart Books aims is to be one of the top independent publishers within the UK by delivering excellent commercial fiction, especially crime and mystery fiction in its many genres. We will also consider other fiction if it is well-written and with an outstanding story to create amazing books and turn them into bestsellers. We look forward to working with authors from across the world to turn their wonderful books into bestsellers.
We accept submissions from agents, previously published authors (including self-published authors) with long backlists, to first-time writers with only one book to their credit. We are dedicated to pouring all our efforts into each and every book we publish.
Become a Rampart Books author and start the ball rolling to build your author career.
Rampart Books is a proud member of the Independent Publishers Guild and The Crime Writers’ Association.
Before submitting, please read the guidelines below.
WHAT WE PUBLISH
Our primary genres are crime fiction, murder mysteries, psychological thrillers, domestic noir, cosy crime, suspense, and police procedurals. We are also in women’s fiction, historical fiction, romance novels, series, literary fiction, and sagas.
We encourage all authors from all backgrounds to make their voices heard, our main concern is the quality of the story.
We are looking for great stories, with new ideas, excellent writing, and with an original voice. If you have something interesting to say about your world show it to us as we are looking for writers we can believe in.
So, if you are a debut novelist without an agent or agented authors, to indie self-represented writers and authors who are already well-established, we are interested.
Submissions are welcome from around the world, but we only publish books in the English language.
We accept submissions from agents, previously published authors (including self-published authors) with long backlists, first-time writers with only one book under their belt, and anyone in between.
