Architecting Intellectual Assets for Visionary Authors Worldwide

Manuscript Submission Guidelines at DADYMINDS Publishing Group (DPG)

Welcome to DADYMINDS Publishing Group (DPG)—where publishing is not just about printing books but about architecting global intellectual assets. If you’re an author driven by deep research, transformative narratives, or innovations that illuminate the modern world, this guide is your gateway to joining the ranks of ‘Living Legends.’

The DPG Philosophy: More Than a Publisher

At DPG, we infuse every project with the reputation and resources of our DPI Global Network. When you submit to us, you’re not simply finding a publisher—you’re seeking an intellectual partnership built to amplify your impact worldwide. Our submission process is rigorous because we invest in projects with the potential to disrupt, preserve, and advance intellectual thought.

What We’re Looking For

DPG offers four dynamic submission tracks, each curated for unique author journeys:

1. Hybrid Publishing: Blends traditional and modern publishing models, offering shared creative control and global reach.
2. Self-Publishing: For authors seeking full creative authority, empowered by our distribution muscle.
3. Modern Distribution: Caters to digital-first projects targeting emerging and established platforms.
4. Traditional (Foundation): For authors who value heritage publishing and in-depth editorial partnerships.

Within these tracks, our interests span:

• Non-Fiction: Leadership, socio-economics, global development, memoirs of impact, technical and scientific research.
• Fiction: Visionary fiction reimagining the future, cultural narratives—especially from the Global South, Asia, and Oceania—and stories that “reframe” the human experience.
• Poetry: Works marked by profound rhythm or cultural resonance, furthering the DPG mission of intellectual vault-building.
• Academic & Educational: Modern curriculum materials, TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) manuals, and university-level research with interdisciplinary value.

Submission Readiness: The Blueprint for ‘Living Legends’

To earn a place at DPG, manuscripts must meet or exceed our high production standards. Here’s how to ensure you’re submission-ready:

1. Manuscript Length

• Standard Range: 100–500 pages (approx. 40,000–200,000 words).
• Special Consideration: On rare, significant occasions, we consider manuscripts from 80 pages (approx. 32,000 words).

This ensures that our titles are substantial, offering both depth and breadth in content.

2. Format Specification

• Submissions must use Microsoft Word (.docx), 12pt Times New Roman, A4 layout.
• This universal formatting ensures a smooth review and design workflow.

3. Genre Policy

• Open Doors: All genres and academic disciplines are welcome (non-fiction, fiction, poetry, academic).
• Excluded Genres: DPG does NOT publish horror or works with sexualism of any kind, maintaining our content values and audience trust.

4. The “Big Eight” Alignment

Ask yourself:

• Does your work solve a pressing problem?
• Does it preserve a vital culture or tradition?
• Does it offer innovation or new thinking that advances a field?

DPG seeks manuscripts with “Vault Potential”—works that stand the test of time and meaningfully shift conversations globally.

5. Understanding Our Numbers

To ensure clarity and transparency, here’s what you need to know:

• All page and word counts are based on standard formatting (see #2 above).
• Thoroughly review your manuscript to guarantee it meets our minimum and maximum requirements. If you have questions or an exceptional project falling outside the typical range, we encourage you to contact us with a proposal.

The Submission Journey: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Self-Evaluation

Before you hit ‘Send,’ review your manuscript using our Blueprint. Does it match our focus areas? Is it formatted precisely? Have you articulated the “Big Eight” alignment in your cover letter?

Step 2: Prepare Your Package

• Manuscript (in .docx format)
• Cover Letter: Briefly introduce yourself, explain the significance of your work, and confirm you meet our readiness criteria.
• Synopsis or Abstract: Summarize your manuscript’s core message and intended impact.

Step 3: Submit

Submissions should be sent as outlined on the DADYMINDS Publishing Group website or email us at [email protected]. If unsure how to best present your project, review our FAQs or reach out—DPG’s team is committed to author support.

Step 4: Rigorous Review

Each submission is meticulously reviewed for:

• Content quality and originality
• Cultural, academic, or intellectual resonance
• Alignment with DPG’s mission and standards

We respond to all authors, typically within 6–8 weeks. Should your manuscript be shortlisted, our acquisitions team will connect for a deeper discussion.

• Global Network: Your book benefits from the DPI Global Network’s reach—universities, organizations, and thought leaders worldwide.
• Legacy Platform: We position great works to become lasting references—a personal and institutional legacy.
• Guidance and Partnership: From manuscript refinement to global distribution, DPG invests in every stage of your book’s journey.
