MGP Mirror-Gibbs Publications is the
publishing arm of the Gibbs Community Foundation, a nonprofit, tax exempt organization in Oakland, CA. We publish well-written manuscripts of fiction, poetry, social commentary, or autobiographical works that are socially and commercially relevant. We also co-publish religious works with The Word of Truth Publications.

These manuscripts must be about the African American or the ethnic minority American experience.

We prefer well-written manuscripts by African American authors in California; however, authors from outside the area may submit their manuscripts for consideration.

Submission Rules:
1.) All manuscripts must be complete and within Writers' Digest criteria; manuscripts, which do not conform to those criteria will be discarded.
2.) A summary letter must be submitted with your best chapter--if a novel, social commentary, or memoir;
3.) If poetry, submit your best five poems with the summary;
4.) Along with the summary and sample chapter, submit a biographical sketch;
5.) Always enclosed return, self-addressed envelope with postage for return of your manuscript materials;
6.) If MGP/WOTP is interested, we will ask you to submit the complete manuscript. Never submit the complete manuscript unless we request it.
