We are now OPEN for submissions.
We do NOT accept Paper Submissions. E-mail Submissions Only.
Thank you very much for your interest in Casablanca Publishing!
Although we may consider unpublished authors, we usually accept submissions only from published authors.
We publish fiction —mainstream, juvenile & children—, including intrigue, mystery, thriller, crime, romance and fictionalized reality —fact based fiction.
With some exceptions, we usually do not accept memoirs, biographies, poetry or science fiction.
At this time, we can't consider text books or short stories.
We will consider original material and submissions of previously published books, as long as the copyright has reverted to the author. However, we do NOT accept submissions of books published in any digital format or vanity press.
If you would like to submit your proposal to Casablanca Publishing, please continue reading.
- Begin with a single-page query e-mail to our submissions coordinator:
submissions@casablancapublishing.net - In the message body, not as an attachment include:
- Your contact information,
- A short paragraph introducing the book,
- A brief bio including pieces you have published,
- If you have an agent, tell us now.
- Also, please let us know if you submitted the same book proposal simultaneously to other publishing houses. We DO accept simultaneous submissions, as we understand your eagerness to have your book published. May the best offer win!
- Attach a full synopsis of your book, in up to 5,000 words, to your message in any of this formats:
- Word (any version; but make sure it is saved as a ".doc" file)
- iWorks Pages
- RTF
- The synopsis is our guide to your book. Give us a detailed, albeit concise description of the story. Write an overview of your novel—beginning, middle, and end—covering themes, characters, settings, and conflicts.
- Present your story with clarity and style.
- Avoid treating the synopsis as a blurb that hints at events, or that tries to hook us into wanting more. Give us the details. Do not say that the story has twists, turns, and a surprise ending. We expect that!
- If we think that your book and Casablanca are a good match, one of our editors will contact you asking for the full manuscript, within 30 days of receipt of your initial query. We will also let you know, within this same time-frame if we don't think we are the right publisher for your book.
We will acknowledge receipt of your initial interest invariably within 5 days by e-mail; however.
(NOTE: Casablanca Publishing NEVER sells, rents, or otherwise makes available an author or agent contact information to anyone other than either the Submissions Editor for the genre of your novel and/or the Editor in Charge of your book, unless commanded by a Court of Law with jurisdiction over both you and Casablanca Publishing. In the latter case, we will inform you so you can challenge any such Court order prior to our releasing your contact information. We honor both the guarantees afforded authors by the Laws of México, Spain and the United States of America, and your privacy.)
If you do not receive our e-mail acknowledging receipt of your initial interest within 5 days, excluding weekends and holidays: First, check your "junk" or "spam" mailbox. If you actually did not receive a response from us, you can either ask your Internet service provider to white-list casablancapublishing.net and casablancapublishing.com as valid senders ( we will know by the fifth day that our e-mail message was rejected by your provider and we will re-send the message via a gmail account), or, you can simply call us at any of our offices, whichever is most convenient for you, after the fifth day:
Barcelona: +34 (93) 802-3014
Los Angeles: +1 (626) 548-8477
Mexico City: +52 (55) 8525-7439
New York: +1 (718) 841-7899
Please call us ONLY if we do not acknowledge receipt of your proposal, after the fifth day, or if you wish to withdraw it. It takes us from two to six months, after we receive your full manuscript, to actually evaluate your proposal and make a publishing decision. We will contact you with our decision as soon as it is made.
Should we decide to publish your book and you accept our offer, time-to-market is much shorter. Usually between one and two months.
Again, thank you very much for your interest in Casablanca Publishing!
