Bendall Books is seeking manuscripts and educational materials for publication in the college market.
Potential authors are invited to submit proposals which include:
- a general description of the book and the perceived need for it in the intended market;
- an outline of the book (an annotated table of contents);
- your best description of the market;
- a summary of already available materials in the intended market;
- information about yourself and your qualifications for writing the book (or proposed book);
- a description of illustrative materials to be included, such as photographs, maps, charts, tables and graphs;
- some sample text (if available).
Please do not send complete manuscripts (unless they are very short) without first consulting the publisher. (If you do send us an unsolicited manuscript it will be returned only if sufficient postage is supplied by you.)
Please bear in mind that Bendall Books does not publish massive, expensive textbooks. We leave that to the massive corporate publishers. We are a smaller house. Our titles are typically on the small side (under 200 pages), and designed for a market which may be small but is identifiable. Our marketing work is conducted primarily through direct mail and the distribution of review and evaluation copies.
For more information, or to discuss your publication idea, please contact us directly.
