We understand that the publishing process can seem intimidating at first, which is why we aim to operate with as much support and transparency as possible. Lumen Gate Publishing offers 4 distinct packages for wherever you may be in your publishing process! For more information on specific packages please see our detailed breakdown below.
To submit individual manuscripts, please send us an email with the subject "Manuscript Submission." Attach your manuscript and a brief description of your submission as a PDF file and include your name, contact information and date of birth in your submission. You will receive a response from us within 4-5 buisness days.
We will accept any fictional manuscript including but not limited to full-length novels, short stories, or poetry collections with an emphasis on middle and high school writers and first-time authors.

Our Editorial Feedback package includes a full manuscript review, along with a editorial report that will include detailed revision suggestions based on your editorial needs. This process can take anywhere from 7-14 business days depending on the type and length of submission, but will not include multiple revision rounds.

Our Developmental Program includes personalized mentorship for every individual manuscript, aimed at preparing your manuscript for publication with multiple revision rounds and detailed feedback. Our team will work until you feel as though your manuscript is ready, and will allow you the chance to connect with other emerging authors for support.

Our publishing package includes every aspect from the Developmental Program, with the addition of cover design, novel formatting, ISBN, and distribution on Amazon (paperback + Kindle). Authors will have complete access to their own Amazon KDP account and will receive all royalties accumulated from the process, while we help format the manuscript, design the cover, optimize categories/keywords, and upload all files to streamline the process.

Our Author Launch package works as an extension of our Publishing package, including a personalized marketing strategy for your novel, full social media setup and execution, and launch campaign. This will include both pre-launch and post-launch marketing, and the author will have full control over whatever aspects of their social media/ website platforms they want us to manage.
Whether you are a young author with a complete manuscript or an emerging writer with a partial novel idea, we are always open to collaboration! Please do not hesitate to reach out and set up a time to meet - we would love to chat!
