Poll of Ellora’s Cave Editors: Top 10 Things We Look for in Submissions
- Professional cover email. “This is the first impression. If the cover letter is riddled with errors or sounds very immature, I assume the story is the same way.”
- Clear synopsis. “I want to know before spending the time reading the submission whether the story meets our guidelines, is appropriate for our market.”
- Correct grammar and word usage, no typos.
- Is this something I would buy to read for myself?
- Believable and likeable characters.
- An emotional connection between characters, and the sensuality worked into the development of the romantic relationship.
- Good blend of dialogue and action.
- Intriguing and believable plot, no major holes, no “and a miracle occurred” resolutions.
- Originality: not the same plot elements and character types I can find in a hundred books.
- Clear POV, no head hopping.
Note: Ellora’s Cave is a publisher of electronic books (although many of our titles are also issued in print). We do almost all our work electronically; we communicate via e-mail. Editors and authors exchange electronic files of the manuscript at all stages. No paper submissions, no paper edits, no paper galleys.
