Submit your manuscript for publishing.

Cloud Ink will be accepting submissions for novels until 10 December 2022.

Cloud Ink is now open to considering manuscripts of adult or young adult fiction from New Zealand writers who are citizens or permanent residents. We are looking to publishing novels which have a New Zealand flavour but will always consider other genres such as memoir and speculative fiction.

Cloud Ink operates as an independent publishing company, on the lines of a collective.

Our authors are expected to contribute to the publishing process of their own book in terms of expertise and finance. We hope that authors will be able to assist on an on-going basis, lending their expertise to future authors to help publish and market their books. Please submit only one manuscript at a time.

The manuscript should have been assessed by a professional assessor and thoroughly proof-read before you send it. Include a cover letter with your full contact details, short bio, 1-page synopsis and the first 3 chapters (or 50 pages) of your manuscript.

Please submit all materials in a single Word document (.doc or .docx). We prefer 1.5 or double line spacing, and Times New Roman or other simple, clear font.

Please send the file to info@cloudink.co.nz. If we want to read the full manuscript, we will contact you, and if not you will be advised via email when your submission has been considered. It may take up to three months for us to get back to you. Please note that we are unable to provide individual editorial advice on these first submissions. Please also note that when we receive your manuscript, you will be automatically added to our newsletter subscriber list. You will be able to unsubscribe. We look forward to reading your work.
