Phone calls inquiring about the status of your submission are not productive and not appreciated. If you haven't heard from us yet, it means we haven't had a chance to get to it. If you're a first-time writer with no past experience in books, we will not be able to work with you. Most of our books are illustrated with photos, mostly four-color. Our books require an average of 4,000-8,000 words.
Most schedules are tight, deadlines are crucial.
If you're a writer or freelance editor, we would welcome a resume and a brief description of your interests and qualifications. Please do not send entire proposals. We much prefer material that does not have to be returned. Our fiction list is very small, and growing very slowly. Right now, we are seeking only a few projects to develop for our future lists.
