Hurst Publishers

Submission guidelines

Manuscript submissions are accepted via email, sent to the Editorial address. The agency publishes only serious non-fiction for adults and does not respond if a submission falls outside this genre. What to send: an opening synopsis or outline, a CV or bio including past publications, a list of draft chapter titles with summary paragraphs, as many sample chapters as are available, notes on competing works in the literature, the proposed word length of the book, and the proposed completion date of the manuscript. Word count: the submission should run to at least 1,500 words. Formatting: files full of illustrations or other pictorial material should not be sent without consulting the agency first, as these may be rejected by the email server.
