Submission Policy

If you are interested in submitting a book query, proposal, or manuscript to PKI Press for consideration,
please read the following guidelines:

Before submitting a manuscript for publication, we strongly recommend that you first enlist the services of an established literary agent. Many literary agencies can be located in Bowker's Literary MarketPlace (commonly known as the "LMP"), an annual reference publication which can be found in most major libraries. These literary agencies, in turn, have guidelines for submitting manuscripts.

If you would like to proceed with submitting an unsolicited manuscript, without the services of a literary agent, we suggest that you send a book proposal including a synopsis of the book, a table of contents or outline, a copy of the author's résumé or some other description of him or her, and two or three sample chapters. The chapters should be double-spaced. Please be advised that materials submitted will NOT be returned and we cannot be held responsible for lost or misplaced submissions.

Please note that PKI Press is a small house and we must be very selective as to the books we publish. It can sometimes take 4-6 months before we can respond to unsolicited submissions.
