Guidelines for Submissions

Please ensure your manuscript fits with the criteria of our mission. We do look at everything that we receive and if we feel your query or submission is pertinent for our publishing program, we will contact you.

 

If you have queried us or submitted a manuscript (which we do not encourage without an invitation in response to your query) and you have not heard back from us within eight weeks, please understand that your query or manuscript is not appropriate for our publishing house.

 

We would love to be able to answer each and every one of you individually however that is simply not possible. We wish you the best of success with your work and thank you for your interest in Harmony Publishing.

 

In order to make the review process more efficient for prospective authors and for our editorial staff, we have prepared a list of requirements for authors who are submitting work. Please include the following when presenting a proposal:

 

1) A BRIEF LETTER THAT INCLUDES A SHORT SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK

• The letter should be no more than two pages long and should tell how your manuscript contributes to its field and what makes it unique.
• As specifically as you can, tell us who the audience is for your book.
• Give a brief biography of yourself, noting especially any specific qualifications for writing your subject.

 

2) A TABLE OF CONTENTS, INTRODUCTION AND SAMPLE CHAPTER(S)

There is no need to send a complete manuscript unless it is specifically asked for. Proposals including the above materials are reviewed much faster than thick manuscripts sent unsolicited.

 

3) WE CANNOT RETURN PROPOSALS OR MANUSCRIPTS UNLESS THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A SELF-ADDRESSED ENVELOPE STAMPED WITH SUFFICIENT POSTAGE.

 

Some prospective authors write or e-mail a query letter before sending a proposal.

This is a good idea and can save time and postage, especially when you are not familiar with the books we publish.

 

E-mail our Acquisitions Editor

Note-do not send manuscripts via e-mail unless invited to do so after initial query.
