Submission Guide Lines
For parenting, household hints books and Christmas titles, we do not have any guidelines. That is because we are NOT looking for new manuscripts in these areas. This statement has never stopped folks from sending us their ideas so you are certainly welcome to write us. It's just that we are quite small and publish very few new titles. But you never know...

Send any query, copy and a SASE* to:

Submissions
Book Peddlers
2828 Hedberg Drive.
Minnetonka, MN 55305

*SASE" means " a self-addressed stamped envelope." We do not respond to those who do not include them.

Please do NOT send your query by email. And, assuming others feel as we do, never send an email with an attachment. We simply do not open them from folks we don't know.

Publishing Advice
If you wish to contact me for publishing advice, I am not really the best person to write to. If you're new to writing or publishing, I will tell you what I tell others: check out the excellent books on the subject.

For a good overview, I suggest HOW TO GET HAPPILY PUBLISHED by Judith Applebaum.

If you are looking to do-it-yourself, there are many good titles available such as
Dan Poynter's THE SELF-PUBLISHING MANUAL (805-968-7277)
and materials by John Kremer including 1001 WAYS TO MARKET YOUR BOOK.
(800-796-6130 or JohnKremer@bookmarket.com).

And there is MUCH available on the Internet. Seek and ye shall find. After that, tenacity and a good product (or a needed product) is mainly what it takes.

If you're looking for a job in publishing, it is hard for me to give advice as I never "worked my way up"
in the publishing world.

And remember those immortal words of advice about what to write if you wish to make money.
The answer is RANSOM NOTES!

Good luck.
