Submissions

Do you have a manuscript you would like us to review for publication? Please carefully read and follow our submission guidelines below.

Please note that these guidelines have been updated as of October 2007.

Thank you for your inquiry. Please send a hard copy proposal as follows:

1. cover letter, (including contact information including phone number, street and email address)
2. author credentials,
3. synopsis,
4. chapter-by-chapter outline,
5. one or two sample chapters.
6. marketing ideas: Target audience: Gen Y, gray nomads, tweenies; connections that the author has in the media, corporate world; cross marketing potentials that author can bring to the table if a book is published

Tips: Note to all prospective authors, they must be prepared to work hard to help in promoting their book, they must present well, and any chance of getting media training for themselves is a plus. You should have researched the market completely and know the competition in the genre, or topic area. You should point out why your book will sell and what differentiates it from the competition.

As of October 1, 2007 paper submissions will not be returned, unless they are accompanied by self address registered post envelop.

Please do not send original artwork.

Finally, be aware that we and all publishers have an enormous number of proposals to read and that it is not unusual for the process to take many months. Your patience is appreciated.
