WHAT TO PROVIDE WITH YOUR SUBMISSION:

What are your qualifications as an author?

  • What uniquely qualifies you to write on your subject?
  • What would you like to accomplish by having this material published?
  • What experience do you have in writing other books or materials? Sales history?
  • What kinds of book promotions are you ready to undertake?

Tell us about your concept.
  • Who is the primary audience for your material? Secondary?
  • In what ways will your material be helpful to the audiences you identified?
  • Comparing your manuscript to the competition among published books, how and why is your idea different and better?
  • What kinds of promotions do you think will be particularly effective for you and your book?

2.) Sample Manuscript: Send a paper copy, double spaced of all or as much of the manuscript as you have ready, with your letter. At minimum, we need a detailed outline showing the organization of the manuscript, contents, an introduction, and two chapters showing your best and most accurate writing style. If your concept also involves unique design, construction or other special features, please provide material that represents these features.


3.) Returns: If you would like your material returned to you in the event it is not suitable for WS Publishing Group, also send a postage-paid reply envelope large enough to hold the manuscript. Do NOT send your material via e-mail.

Reviewing Process:
  • We will read your material carefully and consider whether or not it is a suitable project for our publishing group to take on.
  • If the manuscript interests us, we will write or call with comments and questions that may allow us to go to the next step.
  • If the manuscript does not fit our publishing program, we will return all the material you sent in the postage-paid envelope you have provided within four months of receipt.

Project Development:

Once we are convinced your material is appropriate for WS Publishing Group and also has a sufficiently large and obtainable market, we will offer you a contract with compensation information, provide you with specific instructions on how to submit your full manuscript, and give you a schedule. The schedule will cover editing, field testing, revisions, final title development, illustrating (if any), design, proofreading, and printing. As a project moves through the editorial and productions process, we will also set up a schedule for marketing and promoting the book. It is extremely important that you understand that your enthusiastic, active participation is crucial if your book is to be successful.
