Please include genre, working title, approximate word count, a brief synopsis, and why this is a story the world cannot wait to read. We will respond to your email as soon as possible.
Please subscribe for updates and we’ll let you know when our submission window opens.
Integrity & Art
This is probably as good a place as any to address some of the other things we believe in and consider left and right lateral limits for our team, clients, and partners.
Integrity
While we are 100% veteran owned and strive to advance our fellow veterans, we also aim to support writers from all walks of life, so long as a few very simple standards are met.
• They must be honorable and have integrity.
• They must be genuine and not purposefully mislead.
• They must believe in the power of written word and not intentionally misuse it.
• And finally, they must believe storytelling is essential to the human experience and strive to create the best stories they possibly can.
To that end, we are committed, and we endeavor to be a champion for those storytellers, regardless of genre or specific form, who share in those beliefs and are committed to the same.
Cases of misrepresentation and, more specifically, stolen valor are not unforgivable offenses, but they are close. We will terminate relationships with team members, partners, clients, and customers, to what extent that is possible, if we believe either are in play.
Semper Fidelis.
Artificial Influence
Regarding advanced technologies and fine art, we fully support human intelligence and human artistic expression. And though certain professional applications and even some practical uses for so-called artificial intelligence exist, we will not support its utilization in the creation of fine art. Artists may choose to do so, and that is more than within their right. It is their prerogative. While we acknowledge it might be perceived as a solution to a genuine problem for some, Pane Books reserves its spaces and exhausts its energy and efforts for those who choose Human Intelligence and Human Creativity, against all odds, in the face of growing pressure to allow, and increasing ease of access to, the artificial influence of fine art.
