Religious, Spiritual & Festive Book Submissions Close 31 October 2026

Authors planning to submit religious, spiritual or festive books to Celenic Earth Publications have just over a month left to get their manuscripts to us. Submissions for these categories officially close on 31 October 2026.

After this deadline, we will not accept further religious, spiritual or festive book submissions for publication during the remainder of 2026. Authors who miss the deadline will need to wait until submissions reopen for the 2027 publishing schedule.

Why We Are Setting a Firm Deadline

The final months of the year become particularly busy for publishing, especially when books have themes connected to faith, spirituality, Christmas and the festive season. Every accepted manuscript requires time for editing, formatting, cover preparation, publishing and marketing.

Setting a firm 31 October deadline gives our team an opportunity to properly assess the remaining manuscripts and determine which projects can realistically enter our publishing schedule before the holiday season.

We would rather give every accepted author the attention their book deserves than continue accepting manuscripts when our production schedule is already full.

What Types of Books Can Authors Submit?

Celenic Earth Publications welcomes a broad range of manuscripts within these categories, including:

• Christian and other religious books, spiritual journeys, inspirational and devotional works, Christmas and festive fiction, children’s festive stories, faith-based fiction and non-fiction, and books exploring personal spirituality.

Both new and established authors are welcome to submit their work for consideration.

What Happens After 31 October?

At midnight on 31 October 2026, submissions for religious, spiritual and festive books will close for the year.

Any manuscripts submitted after the deadline will not be considered for our remaining 2026 publishing schedule. Authors will instead need to wait for the relevant 2027 submission period.

This deadline specifically applies to religious, spiritual and festive titles. Other genres and publishing opportunities offered by Celenic Earth Publications may continue according to their respective availability and submission periods.

Submit Before the Deadline

If you have been sitting on a manuscript, polishing those final chapters or wondering whether now is the right time to approach a publisher, don’t leave it until November.
