How do I submit my books for review?
We are looking for adult non-fiction book publishers and will be reviewing your line for product quality, author credentials and your marketing plan. So send us information that pertains to these elements of your line. You can start the process off by sending us this information via email along with a link to your website, if available. If you already have product or draft materials you can follow up by mailing the samples and requested information to our office. To find the right person and place to send this information go to our Contact Us page.

For more details, see our Submission Guidelines.

How long does the book review process take?

We pass your information among several key decision makers and then meet to discuss new publisher submissions. The process can take between two days and two weeks in most cases. You are also welcome to call in and request an update on the process at any time.

When should I submit my books for review?

It is never too early, so send us the information we need as soon as it is available to you. To learn about what information we need visit our Prospective Clients/Submission Guidelines page, Submission Guidelines. We produce two catalogs per year featuring new products as well as backlist. To be included in our spring/summer catalog we will need your submittal by September of the preceding year. To be included in our fall/winter catalog we will need your submittal by February of that same year. So, do not delay, contact your prospective distributors as soon as product, author, and marketing information is available.
