We are a small publisher and bring out only a few books every year. We want all our books to make very good reads, therefore we spend a lot of our own time, money and effort into bringing a book to life and we would like to enjoy what we do. For this reason we only publish books that we really like.

There are some books that we will not publish no matter how well written. These include stories with a predominately occult setting or theme, stories which contain gratuitous violence, sex or swearing and anything that we don’t like.

We do not deal with Agents. We believe that the use of an Agent simple puts another barrier between us and you.

Currently: Of particular interest are books aimed at children and early teens especially science-fiction and fantasy but not exclusively.

We are also interested in non-fiction books for example “How to...” books also aimed at the younger generation.

We expect manuscripts to be submitted via email in RTF or PDF format. Manuscripts submitted as hardcopy will be recycled.

We do not comment on manuscripts that we are not going to publish, but we will  let you know one way or the other.

Thank you for thinking of Flame Lily Books and we wish you the all the best in your future writing endeavours
