In the body of your email, write 200-500 words:
• Give a brief summary of your book and why we will want to read it.
• Describe the readers for whom this book is intended.
• Tell us who you are, and why you are qualified to write this book and describe any previous work you may have had published.
• Let us know if your project is currently on submission with another publisher.
Include your phone number.
Please make sure you have reviewed your submission for spelling errors before you send it. Make a good impression.
Attach the first two chapters of your submission; or, in the case of children’s pictures books, attach the entire text of your book. (No illustrations. See What We Don’t Want below.)
What We Don’t Want
Do not send illustrations unless you are an artist. If you have artist-quality illustrations or photos, let us know in your submission email and we will send you instructions if we want to see them later.
Do not send us any original copies. We are not liable for artwork or manuscript submissions and do not return hard copy submissions.
What You Can Expect
We will review every submission carefully. Please allow 90 days before inquiring about the status of your submission. We publish a limited number of submissions each year so we can only accept the submissions that are the best fit for us.
