Morgan James NONFICTION

Morgan James Publishing accepts both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts from authors who are passionate about their message.

Morgan James is committed to the highest standards of publishing. Therefore, we require a formal submission and will evaluate your material by the following criteria.

Quality of Manuscript

Content precedes commerce. No amount of money or marketing can overcome a book that doesn’t deliver. So your first challenge is to write a book that your networks assure you is as good as you want it to be. The content of your book will determine how we sell it to book buyers.

Quality of Content

Our intention is to produce works that can be read by all audiences, even young adults. Morgan James publishes compelling manuscripts in all genres except “adult” and horror content. For fiction, we welcome manuscripts with “edgy” content and allow for mild expletives within character, tasteful love scenes, but no graphic content.

We’re looking for works that provide readers with the inspiration and guidance they need to be successful.

All nonfiction manuscripts will be evaluated on the following criteria:

Does the subject of your book have consumer value?
Why will someone want to read this book?
Is there a particularly timely nature to the subject area?
What are the specific benefits of your book?
Do you have a game plan for marketing your book via social media, speaking engagements, etc.?
Who is the target audience for this title?
What is the word count of your manuscript?
Does the manuscript have any images? If so, how many?
Is this book tied to a business?
Are there any potential up-sells or complementing products yet?

We expect our authors to have a current, engaged platform demonstrating a strong ability to sell books and actively support the marketing of their books, both before they are published and in the months (and years) after that. Towards this end, we want to work closely with our authors to educate them on book marketing approaches and best practices.
