To ensure that your submission is considered for traditional publication with Legacy Book Press LLC, please make sure to follow the following submission guidelines exactly. If you do not follow the instructions exactly, we may reply by asking you to read these instructions and comply, or we may simply disregard your submission. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
First, please make sure your book fits our needs. We are essentially seeking to traditionally publish legacy or personal stories, widely defined. It must be book-length [at least 25,000 words for prose and 100 pages for poetry total, including all front and back matter], but can take the form of poetry, non-fiction, fiction, or any combination thereof. It could be your autobiography, memoir, or family history. It could be a novel heavily based on your personal experience. It could be a collection of poetry written as you navigated a significant period of your life. It could be the story of your business. Any book that will help tell your story or share your experience as a member of the human race qualifies. It can be a children's book or targeted to young adults or adults. However, we do not publish picture books, and any submission targeted to children or young adults must still be full book length. We will not publish anything with any unnecessarily vulgar or graphic language, violence, or sexual descriptions.
If your book qualifies, we'd love to take a look, so, please...
