Publishing houses receive thousands of unsolicited manuscripts and book proposals every year.
Because they must focus on the books they are already planning to publish, editors are rarely able to devote time to offering detailed criticisms of unsolicited work. Do not be too disappointed if your work comes back with a form letter. Editors' tastes vary, and many highly successful writers have received dozens of rejections. Although Doubleday Canada, Knopf Canada, Random House Canada, Vintage Canada, and Seal Books do not accept unsolicited manuscript submissions, we will try to review queries and samples. Please send your proposal to the attention of the Submissions Editor at the imprint you feel would best suit your work.
