A La Carte PLUS

Get your writing into the right hands—fast—with our A La Carte PLUS Service!

We will research the 25+ best-suited markets for your work AND prepare all your cover or query letters! Our A La Carte and A La Carte PLUS services are affordable, there’s no commitment, and you don’t need to submit your writing to the Review Board for preapproval.

SAVE TIME and MONEY! Put our expertise to work for you!

What is A La Carte PLUS?

Our A La Carte PLUS is a PERFECT way to combine your legwork and our expertise to keep costs down. We write, proofread, and prepare all of your cover or query letters, saving you many hours of time. We research the best-suited markets for your work and create 25+ mailing labels that correspond with your cover or query letters. You’ll also receive our important submission guidelines tips, which contains formatting instructions and a simple, easy-to-follow checklist to ensure fast and easy submissions.

Because our A La Carte PLUS clients do not receive the full benefits of our Full Service clients, the acceptance rate for our Full Service clients is the best. But many writers have been successful when we determine the 25+ markets most likely to enjoy their work—and prepare corresponding mailing labels and cover or query letters (complete with the most up-to-date names and addresses available).

Our database contains thousands of literary markets that are updated daily. You can save yourself TONS of time by tapping into all the market research and data that we’ve been collecting since 1994. Our method of targeting submissions is outstanding. AND you’ll receive online access to a database of your submissions for 30 days!

Don’t individually type the names and addresses of every single editor on your 25+ letters. We can do it for you AND get your writing into the right hands!

You can order this service for yourself OR for a writer friend!

Dear Ronnie:

I want to summarize that my cover letter is dazzling! No, there’s no way that I could have captured EXACTLY what my book is about in so compelling a style. THIS is what I am paying for, what I believe my novel deserves. What I have been unable to give it in the year since it’s been finished. Now we’re on our way. Thank you!

- Destiny K.

A La Carte PLUS clients receive these services:

  • A CUSTOM list of 25+ literary venues that specialize in YOUR type of writing. (Your work will be targeted to the best markets based on topics, word count, editorial preference, etc.)
  • Self-adhesive labels (one for each contact) containing the most up-to-date address information. These labels make it very easy for you to mail your own submissions.
  • We strategically compose and prepare your letters, using the knowledge we’ve gained since 1994.
  • Interactive PDF for electronic submissions.
  • An online database that lists all your submissions. You’ll have access to your submission list 24 hours a day for 30 days.
  • BONUS: We will also include a FREE packet of informational tip sheets that will teach you the insider’s secrets we’ve gathered since 1994. We want you to be successful. Following these guidelines (including sample format sheets, submission do’s and don’ts, etc.) will ensure that your work is well-prepared, which will, in turn, ensure a good read

I wanted to let you know that Minnetonka Review accepted one of my other stories, and Chautauqua just got back to me, saying they wanted to publish “Revelations” (already picked up by Zone 3), so I sent them two other stories to consider. Thanks for all your help. I guess I’m on my way!
- Vanessa H.

What you don’t get with A La Carte PLUS

A La Carte PLUS clients do not receive: manuscript formatting and proofreading (an important factor in putting your best foot forward), submission tracking, a personal submission strategist, limitless online access to your submissions, and more.

For improved results you can request that we proofread (and format) your manuscript for additional fees.

How does it work?

In order to create a CUSTOM list for you, we will need you to provide topics covered in your work. We will make this very EASY for you by giving you access to our online Work Cover sheet. You will fill out the form and upload your work (rest assured that we always protect and respect all of our writer’s confidential documents).

Our database includes markets that are very well-known, up-and-coming markets, and markets you may not be familiar with. The markets in our database are actively looking for submissions. We will prepare your specially targeted list of markets and labels ASAP so you can get your submissions in the mail in just a few days!

We target books to literary agents. We target short creative prose and poetry to literary magazines (print journals and some reputable online magazines). Clients MUST be able to submit their work from their homes via mail and online.

NOTE: Our Full Service clients also complete Work Cover sheets so that we can get to know the topics in their work. However, Full Service clients receive an in-depth review of topics, while A La Carte clients receive a cursory review.

Rates and Pricing Information

The first round (25+ letters) of A La Carte PLUS Submissions costs $250 (that includes composition, proofreading, and preparation of all cover letters), and only $200 for each additional round. Shipping and handling costs $6 for the U.S., more for other territories. You’ll save yourself many hours of tedious, eye-straining research with this fantastic service.

If you’ve got the time and energy to do some legwork, you can put our expertise to work for you by enrolling in our A La Carte PLUS service. But if you’re looking for submission assistance that requires less of your own time and energy, you’ll be excited to know that we can handle ALL of your submission needs with our Full Service program.

Ready to sign up? Call us toll-free at (866) 405-3003 between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. ET. We’ll securely process your credit card payment and get the ball rolling. We’re looking forward to speaking with you!
