Writer's Guidelines
Updated 1/11/99
General Information
- Over the next five years our company will only consider titles related to martial arts. Please do not submit inquiries for publications on topics not related to martial arts.
- Full-length manuscripts are not accepted for review. There is no guarantee that full-length manuscripts submitted without prior clearance from us will be read and we do not guarantee their return.
- Please submit all inquiries in the form of a letter of no more than three pages in length. Clearly and concisely outline the concept of the book, why you are the appropriate person to write the book, and any other information you feel we may need to know in order to proceed further with discussions. A very brief outline of the proposed book may accompany the letter. Make sure to include your mailing address and phone number in any correspondence. No materials sent will be returned.
- We are a small press with modest budgets. If you are expecting a large advance on your royalties if your book is accepted for publication, do not submit your book for consideration. We pay competitive royalty rates and treat our authors well, but we do not advance large sums of royalties.
- We prefer that our books have appeal to as broad an audience as possible. However, books of interest to a specific audience will always be considered.
- Please send all correspondence in writing; do not phone us. When writing, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope with all queries. We cannot respond to inquiries sent without an accompanying SASE.
- Please allow plenty of time for a response from us. We do everything in our power to respond in a timely manner, but cannot guarantee a response within any specific time period.
Instructional Books
- If we are interested in your book, please be prepared to provide video footage of your instructional material.
Other Non-fiction Books
- Please be sure to include the overall objective of your book.
Fiction
- Materials must be consistent with our motto, "Elevate the Martial Spirit".
