4. Manuscript Submissions

Cynren Press accepts manuscript submissions and publishing inquiries through designated submission channels.

Information submitted by prospective authors or literary agents may include contact information, manuscript titles, descriptions, synopses, biographies, and unpublished creative materials.

We use this information to evaluate submissions, communicate with authors and agents, and conduct related editorial and publishing activities.

Submitted materials may be reviewed by authorized Cynren Press personnel, editors, professional readers, and other individuals assisting with editorial evaluation.

We do not publish, distribute, sell, license, or otherwise commercially exploit unpublished manuscripts without appropriate authorization or a publishing agreement.

Submission of a manuscript does not establish a publishing relationship or obligate Cynren Press to offer publication.

Manuscript materials and related submission records may be retained for editorial, administrative, and legitimate recordkeeping purposes. Retention periods may vary according to the submission process and the status of the manuscript.

Individual imprints may maintain additional submission procedures and data-retention practices, which will be described on their respective websites or submission pages.
