Manuscript Submissions

Please note that Simon & Schuster does not review, retain, or return unsolicited materials or artwork. We suggest all prospective authors and illustrators submit their manuscripts through a professional literary agent.

Simon & Schuster cannot recommend specific agents for your work, but a directory of literary agents is available through Literary Market Place, a reference resource that is also available through most public libraries.

Archway Publishing

Simon & Schuster has partnered with Author Solutions to create Archway Publishing, a self-publishing option that features professional guidance from a team of specialists at Author Solutions. You can learn more about self-publishing with Archway and request a free publishing consultation at their website, ArchwayPublishing.com.
