WiDo Publishing: Book Manuscript Submission Guidelines

Important: Read This Before Submitting Your Manuscript

Seven common manuscript submissions mistakes that are very easy to avoid.

Last Updated November, 2017

A small family run publisher, WiDo publishes fiction and nonfiction books. They are currently particularly interested in science fiction, fantasy, mystery/suspense, and nonfiction essay collections and memoirs.

They added a vanity publishing arm last year, but said they initially said they would not redirect submissions from the traditional publisher to the vanity imprint. They have started to do this. I have one verified report that they did this and that is enough for me.

Based on this information, I would recommend writers avoid this publisher.
