Information for New Agents Interested in Submitting:
Encounter Books publishes serious non-fiction manuscripts in the areas of history, religion, biography, education, public policy, current affairs, social sciences, and politics. We are dedicated to well conceived and well argued works with a power to affect our social dialogue that will have a long shelf life in bookstores and libraries, as well as within the classrooms.

We are looking for the new perspective on ideas that can alter our social world and challenge our morality and imaginations. We will evaluate potential projects carefully.

We will consider proposals, outlines, and/or sample chapters.

* Please take a moment to review our catalog before submitting material.

* Please do not send the entire manuscript.

* Proposals and queries accepted year-round; however, Encounter Books' reading period begins March 1 and ends November 1.

* Please note: Encounter Books does not accept manuscript proposals via e-mail.

Submissions must include return postage to receive a reply. Encounter Books does not accept responsibility for unsolicited manuscripts.
