Submission Guidelines

VISPRINT, Inc. is open to publishing a variety of literary genres, both in English and in Filipino. However, we favor works that are very Pinoy in taste, evocative of our society and culture, and/or set in Philippine background.

The manuscript should be at least 90% complete upon submission of the proposal.

Intially, a Letter of Proposal is required, sent through email [bestbookproposal@visprint.net]or via postal mail.

Included in the proposal are the following:

1. Relevant information about the author
  • Background in writing/publishing
  • Contact details
2. Information about the manuscript
  • Brief summary
  • 2 sample chapters, or sample pages not more than 10 pages
  • Proposed design of the physical layout of the book
3. Sales pitch
  • Target market of the book
  • Marketability
If your proposal is convincing enough, we’d request for a printed copy of the manuscript for our review. Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope in case you’d like your manuscript returned.

Allow us 60 days, at least, before sending a follow-up on your proposal.

Magandang araw po,
Tatanong ko lang po sana kung pwedeng magpasa ng creative non-fiction or mga nobela o libro lang po ang tinatanggap niyo? Maraming salamat po. God Bless.

Hi there,

Do you publish books that are under the 'erotica' banner?
