EVERLY BOOKS PUBLISHING GROUP
Manuscript Submissions Guidelines
Upon review of the inquiry, the Editorial Department may request a detailed proposal and/or all or part of the manuscript for review. The detailed proposal would expand more fully on the information offered in brief when the letter of inquiry was sent.
Please provide the proposal and/or (partial/full) manuscript on 8.5" x 11" white paper. The text should be, at minimum, double-spaced and nonproportionally spaced (i.e., unjustified right margins) for ease of editing. Please be sure that your pages are consecutively numbered throughout. Do not number chapters separately.
If illustrations, art, photographs, graphs, charts, or the like are integral to the work, please provide separate files of these. If we need to see the originals we will contact you.
Please allow 4 weeks for review of an inquiry, 6 to 8 weeks for review of a proposal, and 10 to 14 weeks for review of partial or complete manuscripts. Every effort will be made to expedite this process and to give each project our fullest attention, but due to the large number of inquiries, proposals, and manuscripts received, the high volume of incoming material can cause delays.
Everly Books accepts submissions from new and established authors as well as from literary agents. Before sending any materials, it is always best to submit a letter of inquiry that introduces the topic; briefly outlines the author's project; and discusses relevant competing works, the potential market, the availability of the complete manuscript (or its likely completion date), and the manuscript's (tentative) length. A copy of the author's vita/resume with publishing history should accompany your inquiry.
To obtain a better idea of our publishing program, authors and agents are urged to review Everly Books "Books" page.
Letters of inquiry submitted via e-mail are accepted provided there are no attached files. We also accept e-mailed proposals when requested by us in writing. All proposals must accompany our requested reference number.
If a proposal or a partial or complete manuscript is requested from the author or agent, Everly Books prefers to be the only house receiving the work. However, we will accept simultaneous submissions provided that the author or agent makes this clear in a cover letter and immediately informs us if and when another publisher has tendered an offer or has accepted the work for publication.
