Manuscript and Book Proposal Submission Guidelines
At AURM, we believe every story has the potential to inspire. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript or book proposal, please carefully follow the guidelines below.
Writing Process
- Consider Your Audience – Your book should have a clear purpose and resonate with readers.
- Stand Out – Ensure your book offers something new by researching similar titles.
- Drafting Your Book – Start by summarizing your book, breaking it into chapters, and writing sample chapters. Be prepared to revise and improve.
- First Draft vs. Final Draft – Writing is an iterative process. Rework your book as necessary to align with your original vision.
