For the third year running, #DigitalOriginals (part of Simon & Schuster) is opening a one-day submission window on 15 July to find a prospective bestselling commercial women’s fiction author.
If a novel is selected through the submission window, it will be published worldwide across all commercial e-tailers. Writers published through the #DigitalOriginals programme include Andy Jones, Heidi Swain, Holly Hepburn, Julie Ashton and Penny Parkes.
To submit work for a chance to be published by the Simon & Schuster imprint, writers are invited to send their first chapter and a synopsis. Send up to 5,000 words, double-spaced in 12pt font, a one-page synopsis and a mini-biography up to 100 words. Include name, address and telephone number. All submissions must be commercial women’s fiction.
