Writer's GuidelinesSubmissions are closed through 2010 - our upcoming catalog is full for the rest of the year. Please check back, however, as our requirements do change! If you submit anyway, we may not be able to respond to your query. It's not because we don't value your time and thoughtfulness in sending a query to us, but we recive a ton of submissions, many by email that are FAR outside of our guidelines, and often the "To:" entry on the email contains half of the publishing houses in Writer's Market. Some writers take the shotgun approach, hitting everyone out there and hoping that something will land solid. If we don't respond to a query outside of our guidelines within 30 days, then it's fairly safe to consider that it's something that we can't pursue. We prefer that you look at the things we've done in the past, see if we're a good fit for your book, and then query us personally, singularly, and with a solid marketing plan. Make no mistake, we deeply respect writers. Most everyone associated with 23 House is a writer in some form or another, and many are published authors... with the exception of the graphics people and our legal guy, although we'd love to see him write a book on author rights and publishing law.
PLEASE NOTE: 23 House Publishing never, ever, never charges $$ to read queries, consider manuscripts, or publish books. If you find a publisher asking an author to put up any money at all, RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
