Submissions
An author submission is the process of a writer sending a manuscript, or a written work like a book, article, or story, to a publisher, literary agent, or journal for consideration for publication. This process can involve following specific guidelines for preparing the manuscript and submitting it through an online portal or via email, ir through the mail, and is the first step for authors to get their work seen by a wider audience.
Once submitted, the work is under review, a process often called “on submission,” where the author typically waits while the agent or publisher pitches the work to editors at various publishing houses. Some publishers have a tracking system that allows the author to see where in the manuscript is in the process.
