Submission guidelines

Manuscript submissions are welcomed via email, sent to Editorial. The agency publishes only serious non-fiction for adults; writers should check the website to confirm their book fits the specialist fields covered. What to send: an opening synopsis or outline; a CV or bio including any 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 a proposed completion date for the manuscript. Word count: the submission itself 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. A response will not be sent if the book is not in the genre of serious adult non-fiction.
