Submissions

After reviewing the submissions, we’ll narrow down the list of prospective books for a given season. Then we will reach out to those authors with requests to complete our in-depth author questionnaire and to schedule a Zoom interview. We work intimately with our authors and want to ensure that we are a match. At this time, we also will send you a full description of our proprietary two-year launch program for your review, along with information on the financial investment that contributes to the marketing budget to effectively launch your book.

If your book is selected, we’ll invite you to be our partner and take part in the two-year intensive publication program. If you accept, you will receive an author contract giving Sibylline the rights to publish your book (you retain copyright). Your book will be one of our six titles published in the following Fall or Spring seasons.

If you are not open to our model which requires your personal and financial commitment, we ask that you do not submit your book for consideration. If you make it into our top ten manuscripts selected for final consideration for a season, which is highly competitive, you'll have the opportunity again to decide to participate based on the detailed information we will supply you as we select our final six books for that season. 

Submissions are currently open for our Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 list. If you are a woman 50 or older and your book is both ready and excellent, we want to see it.
