our publishing profile
Leucrota Press uses offset printing for all of our books, except for Advance Reader Copies (commonly known as ARCs) which we print using on-demand technology through Lightning Source prior to publication for marketing and publicity uses. First print runs for new authors average around 2,000, though may be as high as 5,000.
The paper we use to print our books is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and SFI (Sustainable Forest Initiative) certified. Since 1993, the FSC has been working to promote responsible management of the world’s forests through public works. Both FSC and SFI certifications were created to ensure that companies use practices of harvesting wood that are sustainable and do not harm our forests by over logging. This in turn protects the wildlife that call those forests home, and the soil and water quality that those trees protect.
Once accepted, Leucrota Press promises to diligently work with each author, new or established, to develop other marketing plans such as setting up bookstore signings and readings, proactively sending out press releases to papers and magazines around the country, and vigorously promoting each book to it's full potential.
Starting in 2009, Leucrota publishes in two seasons: Spring and Fall. Their submission reading periods are Spring (January 1 - April 30) and Fall (August 1 - December 31). If accepted for publication, your book will be slotted for the following season in which it was read (if you submit in Spring and are accepted, your book will be released the following Spring season).

Leucrota Press is an independent press that publishes science fiction, fantasy, horror, and graphic novels of the highest quality. They work with both new and established authors, agented or not. Please carefully review their submission guidelines before sending any materials. They accept simultaneous submissions, but not multiple submissions.
