For Portal Books

Portal Books accepts submissions of LitRPG, GameLit, Progression Fantasy, and any of the associated subgenres. We operate an open submission policy, meaning you don't need to have an agent to submit your book to us.

All submission inquiries will receive a response and an estimated review wait time within 2-3 business days. If this is not the case, please do let us know.

If you wish to submit your work to us, please follow the guidelines below correctly or your submission may not be added to our queue.

If you have a finished manuscript of 100,000 words or more (though we do presently favour submissions that are over 130,000 words) that you believe would fit our interests, the following should be emailed to submissions@portal-books.com

• A cover letter telling us a little about yourself and any relevant writing history

• A plot outline of no more than 2,000 words

• A detailed explanation of the core game mechanics - e.g. how your MCs class works, abilities, levelling system, and any other features that are critical to the plot.

• Your full manuscript.

• Relevant contact information, such as name and email address.

We do not accept:

• Manuscripts that are incomplete. You must submit at least one complete novel per submission.

• Manuscripts that do not meet our 100,000-word minimum requirement.

• Manuscripts that are not written in English

• Submissions that fall outside of the LitRPG, GameLit, Progression Fantasy genre, or any of the associated sub-genres. This includes pure Fantasy or Science Fiction.

• Stories that have already been published on Amazon or Audible. (Royal Road, Wattpad, and similar platforms are fine and actively encouraged).

• HaremLit or anything with equivalent subject matter.

• Works written by artificial intelligence

• Manuscripts we have previously rejected, unless specifically requested.
