Tangerine BooksNZ are currently not accepting manuscript submissions, but we encourage you to keep an eye on this website for future announcements.
With our unique partnership publishing model, once your manuscript has been submitted and accepted, we will invite you to contribute a koha of five copies of your book, the sale of which will go towards the collective's expenses (e.g. advertising, awards, etc.) In return we will support you through the process to the printing stage, and beyond. A high-quality, well-edited, professionally presented manuscript and enticing cover design are crucial to success. We will help you with this. When you are ready to publish, and we believe the book is to Tangerine BooksNZ's high standard:
