Publisher Guidelines

In this section, there's a list of publishers and the links to their guidelines. Please read the guidelines from the publishers that interest you, but remember, editors change houses often. Always call the publisher before submitting a manuscript. Find out the name of the editor and their exact title. Nothing is more unprofessional than sending a proposal to the wrong editor, or one that's no longer with the publisher.
