A Modern Publisher featuring Guts, Grit, and Great Stories
Alibi Syndicate Press: Created by Authors for Authors
Traditional Publishing Done Differently
At Alibi Syndicate Press, we believe authors deserve more than a book deal — they deserve a partner.
That commitment means we can't possibly work with every author or accept every manuscript.
In fact, submissions are currently by invitation only, through conference connections, anthology invitations, or direct outreach from our team.
We open to unsolicited submissions only a few times per year — and those dates are announced first through our author email list.

Building Readers & Author Platforms,

If You’re Going Indie
Prefer to publish independently? We’ve got you covered there, too.
Through Print to Pro program, we offer a series of courses and professional assistance options to help indie authors learn how to publish the right way, with confidence, quality, and sustainability.
From formatting and metadata to marketing and distribution, Print to Pro helps you take control of your publishing journey without going it alone.

A Note on AI
We know AI tools are part of the creative landscape, and when used responsibly, they can be helpful. That being said, we also understand the copyright laws and how to protect your intellectual property and what it takes to make sure your provenance is established.
However, our policy is simple:
- Manuscripts must not exceed 25% AI-generated text
- Covers must be primarily human-created, though AI can assist
- Human narration is always preferred, though high-quality, ethical AI narration (like Eleven Labs Premium) may be used
We rely on trust, transparency, and respect for creative integrity.

At Alibi Syndicate Press, we invest in authors, not just books.
We combine the reach of modern marketing with the heart of traditional publishing — helping you connect with readers, grow your community, and build a lasting career. When you’re ready to submit, check our submission guidelines for details:
