We are interested to branching out and publishing a wide variety of both fiction and non-fiction books and we would love to see your manuscripts!
We are old fashioned kind of people, you know, the ones who would rather hold a book in our hands than read one on a tablet! So for that reason we only accept hard copies of manuscripts for consideration.

What to Send:
A cover letter: This letter should tell us about your book; be specific and give spoilers... make us want to read it! You should also be able to tell us who your audience is and show us that you know your audience by listing 3 books currently on the market similar to yours and how your book is different then those other books- we want to know what it is that makes your book special within to the audiences for which it was written. You should end your letter with your contact information, and don't forget your email!
We understand that different types of books look different, so before sending us the entire thing please read below the the details on your specific project.

Please note, as we are just launching this aspect of our company, we are unsure what our turn around time will be. If we are interested in seeing the rest of your manuscript, we will be contacting you through email.
Please send the first 30 pages of your manuscript along with the above mentioned cover letter in all its glory!
Fiction Novels (adult, young adult, middle age)- Please send the first three chapters of your manuscript in their entirety, as well as a book summary (spoilers included!) and the above mentioned cover letter.
We are very interested in breaking into the children's book market, perhaps because of all the kids we have running around here!
At this time we are only looking for fully illustrated books, please send the manuscript with illustrations in its entirety.
(Do not send the originals of the artwork, we are not responsible for lost work and would hate for it to be gone from you forever!)
Please send us your book proposal along with the cover letter. Sell us on your idea and give us a hint at why it would be so special- we know you have great ideas, show us how you will make them come to life on the page!
Do you have an amazing idea for supplemental curriculum development? We want to hear it! Send us your proposal along with a cover letter, and let us see how you would work the magic of education if given the chance!
It happens, you have this great mass of work, and you know that somewhere in there lays a book...but you just don't know how to organize it all!
