Ekstasis Editions

When assessing material we consider the following: quality and originality of the poetry or prose; intriguing plot development; credible dialogue and consistent narrative voice; thematic cohesion; innovations in technique; topical and contemporary content; previous publishing history if any; market niche potential; appeal to a definable audience and compatibility with other titles on our list.

Before submitting carefully proofread your manuscript for spelling and grammatical errors that divert attention from the story. Send clean, double-spaced typed copy, except in the case of poetry, where single-spaced copy is fine. Your full address and telephone number should be on the cover and your name should be on the top right-hand corner of every page.

At Ekstasis Editions we are interested in literary novels, short fiction and poetry, as well as books for children under our new Cherubim Books imprint. We also publish nonfiction titles concerned with alternative approaches to spirituality. Ekstasis Editions is not currently publishing mainstream science fiction/fantasy or mainstream mystery novels, but will consider original works in these genres. We are not considering any romance, detective, western, horror or action/adventure novels, nor any biographies/autobiographies. We normally consider unsolicited submissions from Canadian authors only.
