Author Help // General guidelines for Manuscript Submission
Types of Submissions
You may submit a completed manuscript, comprehensive proposal, or query letter. We also have ghostwriters ready to work with you on getting your idea to print.
File Types
We accept both PC and Mac compatible files in Word, Word Perfect, and other popular file types. Electronic files should be sent on CD or via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . We also accept hardcopy submissions. Hardcopies should be double spaced on 8.5" x 11" paper and pages must be numbered. Previously published/printed books may also be sent. We have worked with a number of authors to bring their backlist titles back into print.
Formatting
Text pages should have at least a 1 inch margin on all four sides. Front matter should be numbered with Roman numerals. Do not use hard returns to double space text. Rather use additional line spacing. Use only one space after each sentence.
