For nonfiction, send a descriptive query offering the questions you are raising in your proposal along with a SASE for response and/or return of material. Or query by e-mail at info@baldibooks.com. On the basis of the query, we may ask for more material.
Please allow at least two weeks for consideration of the query letter. If we want to read your work, we may respond by e-mail to your snail mail letter. Please include an e-mail address and phone number in your query letter.
