Submission Guidelines

Please ask if you have questions

 

Sci-Fii Galaxies generally follows the same standards as CleanIndieReads.com for the submission standards of what is approved to be included and featured in the website along with the requirement that books are published.


Books must be published.

  • Books may be self-published, generally through companies such as CreateSpaceLulu, or IngramSpark* or traditionally published through a publishing company.  Books may also be published as an eBook, so long as they are available through a reputable vendor. Books should not be handmade, only on a webpage, a word possessing document, a PDF, just printed and stapled, or any other non-professional format.


Books may not contain erotica or sexually explicit scenes. 

  • There should be nothing that gives a play-by-play description of a sexual encounter or describes nudity in detail. Mild innuendo, reference to sensual or sexual activity that is “off screen” and not graphically portrayed may be used in some books written for adults.

 

Books may not contain the "F-word" or gratuitous strong language.

  • They may contain minimal offensive language.  Other words commonly considered as swearing and/or racially offensive terms should be used very sparingly, if at all. Such words should be present only in an effort to mimic speech in times of great duress for a character (and not just peppered in gratuitously).

 

Books may not contain graphic violence or gore. 

  • There should be nothing that paints a very specific and horrific image in the reader’s mind. Scenes generally described as appropriate for war stories, crime stories, etc. may be present.

 

Books may not tear down another belief system, whether political or religious.  

Other extremely offensive material may not be acceptable as determined on a case by case basis by the review committee.
