For authors, organisations, and institutions who want to take control of their publishing journey—with expert support every step of the way.
Under our Prima imprint, Narrative Landscape Press East Africa offers end-to-end publishing services designed to bring your book to life at the highest standard. From manuscript to finished product, we combine editorial excellence, thoughtful design, and efficient production to create books that are not only beautiful, but built to last.
We work with you as a partner, translating your vision into a professionally produced book that meets global standards.

What we offer:

• Editorial development and manuscript refinement
• Book design (interior layout and cover design)
• Illustration and visual direction (where required)
• Printing and production management
• Distribution advisory and market readiness

This is ideal for authors and organisations who want creative control, speed to market, and a collaborative publishing experience backed by industry expertise.

Thank you for your interest in getting published by Narrative Landscape Press. Narrative Landscape Press accepts unsolicited manuscripts for fiction only, and we read our submissions inbox twice a year: from March 1 – March 31 and September 1 – September 30.

To submit your work, send us an email with the subject heading “Submissions [title of your
work]” and the following content to submissions@narrativelandscape.com

1

The body of the email is your query letter, introducing you, telling us why you contacted us, and telling us about the work in question. A few words on why you are the best fit to write this work will also be worth looking at.

2

A one-page synopsis of the work you are submitting as a Word Document attachment. Please include all major plot points in your synopsis, including spoilers. You can also say a few words about the theme of the work.

3

A sample of the work in question as a Word Document attachment. This should be the first 3 chapters, or the first 50 pages, or the first 10,000 words, whichever is longer.

Please ensure that your manuscript and/or your writing sample is traditionally formatted. Our submissions editor’s eyesight is failing, and we want to ensure that she reads your work properly. Send your manuscript sample in double-spaced, indented no-space paragraphs, left-justified only, 12-point serif font (we prefer courier new) text on A4.

Narrative Landscape Press ensures that all submissions are read. But because we have such a large number of these, we ask for eight weeks after each submissions reading window to reply. We will respond to every submission we receive.

Currently, Narrative Landscape Press is not accepting unsolicited poetry, drama, or non- fiction submissions.
