We
do not accept electronic submissions. Do not approach us
through e-mail or by fax.
We ask
that you do not submit your entire ms, but instead send
us the first three or four consecutive chapters of your
book. They should be accompanied by a letter from the author
along with a synopsis. Please also be sure to include an
SASE; that is, an envelope sufficiently large to accommodate
your ms and which has both your return label and postage
already affixed to the envelope. If you don't want the ms
back, just include a self-addressed stamped #10 envelope.
If there is no SASE included in the packet, there will be
no reply unless the Editor wishes to ask for more of the
ms. But in general, mss without accompanying return envelopes
will be discarded.
It is
important for everyone concerned for the author to match
as closely as possible his or her work to the books published
by the targeted publishing house. By and large, Wicker
Park Press does not publish books with explicit, gratuitous
sex and violence. Manuscripts which do not fit our list
will be returned promptly, if accompanied by an SASE. Mss
which are being considered for publication will take longer,
six weeks or more.
Despite
all these "do nots" we do try to deal with people
on an individual basis, and we do not require that writers
approach us through agents. Direct submissions are acceptable.
Best
wishes,
The
Editors
