Dyslexicon

A project of Flatiron Foothills Publications (see other related projects).

About

Dyslexicon provides accessible books for adult readers with reading disabilities who need easy language, but who want stories with adult characters facing adult issues in an adult world, not books for kids. Dyslexicon books feature adult characters and easy sentences, so readers with dyslexia, alexia, visual impairments, ADHD, neurodivergence, or other reading disabilities can enjoy easy stories that are not aimed at children. Print books feature: large text, non-serif fonts created specifically for reading disabilities, wide line spacing, wide margins, left-aligned text with fixed even spacing, no contractions, and cream paper.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $9.50 (below average for publishers that charge).

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
