We are particularly interested in Cultivation, System Apocalypse and Isekai style LitRPG at this time.

Submissions for Monolith are temporarily closed.

Submission Guidelines

Portal Books operates an open submission policy, meaning you don't need to have an agent to submit your book to us. Please follow these guidelines correctly or your submission may be disregarded.

Please note at this time we are only accepting completed manuscripts unless works in progress are specifically requested.
