Next Steps

How to Submit Your Manuscript

The easiest way to reach our editorial team is to send a short overview and some sample material. We review every submission and will be in touch within 4 weeks.

Submission guidelines

To help us give your project proper consideration, please include as much of the following as you can:

Author details – a short bio, your location and contact information.
Working title & category – e.g. “coastal walking guide, Travel & Outdoor” or “picture book, Children’s”.
Brief overview – 1–2 paragraphs explaining what the book is about, who it is for and why now.
Table of contents or outline – a simple chapter list is perfect.
Sample material – usually 1–3 chapters, or the full text for picture books.
Comparable titles – books yours sits alongside, and what makes it unique.

We focus on the categories listed above and are not the best fit for highly specialised academic monographs, adult fiction or poetry collections

We respond to most submissions within 4 weeks. While we can’t provide detailed feedback on every submission, please know your work is read with care by our team.
