Please tell us about you:
- What uniquely qualifies you to write on your subject?
- What would you like to accomplish by having this material published?
- What experience do you have writing other books or materials? Sales history?
- What kinds of book promotion are you ready to undertake?
Tell us about your idea:
- What makes your book unique?
- Who is the primary audience for your material? Secondary?
- In what ways will your material be helpful to the audiences you identified?
- What kinds of promotion do you think will be particularly effective for you and your book?
What we need to see in writing:
- Email a letter of inquiry to us in which you respond to the questions above and relate any other information you think will help us make a decision about the suitability of your manuscript.
- Send a PDF attachment, of all or as much of the manuscript as you have ready with your email. At a minimum, we need a detailed outline showing the organization of the manuscript, contents, an introduction, and two chapters showing your best and truest writing style.
What we will do after receiving your material:
- We will read your material carefully and show it to our select group of editors.
- If the manuscript interests us and is suitably written, we will write or call with comments and questions that may allow us to go to the next step: a contract.
- If your idea is interesting, but you need help writing the material, we will suggest a professional writer with whom you can work on the manuscript, preparing it for resubmission.
- If the manuscript does not fit our publishing program, we will return all material you sent in the postage-paid envelope you have provided, within four months of receipt.
