Mystic Publishers Inc.
At Mystic Publishers Inc. our goal is to return to the golden age of publishing while maintaining the standard of Show Don't Tell, with all our authors, new and established. We pledge to give our readers stories that will draw them in and entertain.
In the realm of publishing, our goal is to take the time to read some or all of every submission that crosses our desks. What are we seeking? We want to review manuscripts of all genres. Remember, we are looking for novels written up to today's standards, written in active voice with a clear, fixed point of view, minimal use of adverbs in exposition, and minimal passive voice.
If your submission falls short of our standards, we will supply you with a short evaluation as to why we rejected your work. After fixing any major problems, we will accept your re-submission, along with a letter of explanation on the changes made.
Depending on genre, we have two specific imprints.
NewLink Publishing
Science Fiction
Fantasy Fiction
Horror
Paranormal
Ink & Quill Publishers
Ink & Quill focuses on mainstream genres
General Fiction
Romance
Mysteries.
Our Staff
Jo A. Wilkins Acquisitions
Jo’s looking for almost anything in the way of a submission, except fantasy. She is a content editor for Ink & Quill and NewLink and will read nothing that conflicts with our submissions guidelines. Her major interests are science fiction, mystery, historical memoirs, and educational material (but it has to have an interesting presentation). She does not read or enjoy romance based novels.

Janelle Evans is the managing editor for Mystic Publishers Inc. Her favorite genre to read for entertainment is YA but she has edited fiction across the spectrum of writing.
For the company, she is looking for character-driven novels with a strong understanding of POV (Point Of View). She doesn’t like to see a villain in the story be evil just for sake of being the villain. Neither does she like to see overly perfect characters being the hero of the story. People in real life are complicated. She likes to see that same depth in the characters in which she reads. She finds long sections of backstory boring and a drag overall to any novel’s plot, she especially doesn’t want to see a novel that starts with backstory. Every novel should have a clear plot with engaging dialogue.
