Tips From the Editor

We publish 15 to 20 titles per year, per house. If we aren’t interested, then you’ll receive a rejection letter. If we are interested, then you may not hear from us until we are ready to make an offer. In some cases that could be a year or longer. Please use standard submission guidelines (double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font).
