JGP Submission Guidelines

Welcome to Jupiter Gardens Press. We publish three distinct lines of fiction and nonfiction, with a fourth coming in January 2010. We pay royalties and do not ask for any fees from the author. We have extensive experience in the publishing industry and we want to be an author-friendly publisher with a great line-up of books.

We currently publish three distinct lines:

    Jupiter Gardens Press - our original line includes fiction and nonfiction based on, or about, alternative spirituality. We will also publish fiction which attempts to answer or contemplate a question facing society, civilization, or humankind. This includes all genres except erotica.
    Jupiter Gardens Press Thebe - this line includes all forms of science fiction and fantasy. We want to see everything from high fantasy to hard science fiction, cyberpunk, steampunk, magical realism, slipstream…if it’s science fiction or fantasy we want it!
    Pink Petal Books - this imprint is for romance in all its forms. We welcome romance with all heat leavels and in all subgenres. Novels published by Pink Petal Books focus on the character’s relationship, because we believe love is a beautiful thing. Full guidelines are available at www.pinkpetalbooks.com

In January 2010, we will launch Kittyhorse Publishing, an imprint dedicated to young adult and child readers. The books will honor our current areas, from science fiction and fantasy to metaphysical fiction and nonfiction. In addition, we welcome animal stories. We're currently reading for this imprint and full guidelines can be found on our website. www.kittyhorsepublishing.com

You'll notice some of our books cross over (around and between?) our published genres. For example, we publish inspirational romances as part of our JGP Spirit line because they are both spirituality books and romances. So, while we definately want you to send us books that fit our publishing plan, please don't worry if it is a fantasy romance or a straight science fiction story. You may submit either here, and we may adjust for the imprint/line that we deem appropriate.

If you would like to keep up to date with our book releases, please subscribe to our newsletter. Our release dates coincide with the full moon.
