SUBMISSIONS

What Timelines Publishing is acquiring now.

Timelines Publishing is currently building a focused list and is reviewing work in thriller, mystery and suspense, and narrative nonfiction. These guidelines are preliminary and may change as the publishing program develops.

Thriller
Commercial or upmarket stories with pressure, escalation, and a clear engine driving the reader forward.
Mystery & Suspense
Smartly plotted investigations, psychological suspense, crime fiction, and character-led mysteries.
Narrative Nonfiction
Reported, researched, or personal nonfiction with a strong story shape and a defined reader in mind.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Clear momentum, strong stakes, and careful execution.

For fiction, we are most interested in manuscripts with a compelling premise, a confident voice, and a story that earns its turns. For nonfiction, we look for clarity of purpose, credible sourcing, and a narrative approach that keeps readers engaged.

RESPONSE TIMING

Timing will be modest while the list is young.

Response windows are still being established. Timelines Publishing will aim to reply when a project may be a fit, but response timing may vary while the submission process is being finalized.
