FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you accept unsolicited submissions?

We accept submissions of manuscripts at any time relevant to any of our imprints to email hello@fairplaypublishing.com.au.

Please take a look at our books and authors to consider whether your book is a good fit.

We ask that submissions include a synopsis, at least the first three chapters, and some information about the author.

Unlike many other publishers, we welcome a broad church of authors and demonstrate inclusivity, diversity and respect for a wide range of writers.

We generally respond to submissions within three months of receipt. If we fail to do so, do not hesitate to follow us up.

What currency are the prices?

All prices are in the currency of your location. If in doubt, the Australian dollar (AUD) pricing is the reference point.

​How do I get an e-book?

Upon payment for a digital edition, you will be provided with a download link and code for you to access your digital book. We allow up to 7 days for you to download your purchase on up to two devices. We trust you do not share this link with others who have not made a purchase.
