AS OF APRIL 21, 2008, NEW PARADIGM BOOKS IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING PROPOSALS

We accept query letters via E-mail all year round. If you are interested in submitting your work to us, please read and follow the guidelines below.

Our publisher's mission lies in part in trying to delineate the places where science and mysticism meet.  We are moving increasingly towards the areas of alternate and mainstream health care and personal growth in general.  To get a detailed idea of our interests, read about our books on our website--or read our books.

All manuscript submissions should include a query letter containing a description of your book idea and information about you as a potential author.  With adult book proposals, you may also include an outline, as well as some sample chapters, if you wish.

As part of your proposal, we would like you to tell us the market for your book:
 

  1. What similar books are already out there.
     

  2. How those books have sold (note any bestseller lists, awards, Amazon.com ranking, check with your local bookstore or the publisher, and check the copyright page for the number of printings)

  3. How your book idea is different from these

  4. Additional markets your books could sell to, aside from retail bookstores.

  5. What you would be willing to do to promote your book.

 

We require a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) for reply or return of your manuscript; please be sure there is adequate postage as we cannot return your work if there is not. Also please note: New Paradigm Books will not be held responsible for lost or misdirected manuscripts, photos, or artwork, so please do not submit originals.

We regret that we are not able to answer all the phone calls we receive regarding the status of proposals. If you follow these guidelines, you will either receive a phone call from us (if we are interested in your proposal), or your proposal will be sent back with a letter (if we are not interested).  It can take up to six to eight months for a response and/or return of your work.  We appreciate your patience and thank you for considering us as a possible publisher of your work.

Please DO NOT submit more than a query via E-mail. If you submit a manuscript via E-mail, it will not be considered for publication.
