Book Submission Guidelines...
Wisdom Books LLC specialize in high-quality health & fitness, and
self-improvement books for adults, teenagers, and children.
The Gift division of Wisdom Books produces a wide assortment of quality gift items, including calendars, note cards, address books, journals, and postcard collections.
When submitting a proposal, initial query letter, or completed manuscript, please remember that it may take up to two months for the editors to review it. Outlined below is the basic procedure for submitting manuscripts and proposals. While by no means are all of the steps mandatory, bear in mind that it is your vision you are presenting to us, so the more information you give us to visualize your project, the better. (Please send us copies of your material and keep the original for your records - no material sent to our offices will be returned).
A proposal could include:
1. Cover letter giving a brief description of the project and what is included in the package.
2. For manuscript submissions (and gift submissions when appropriate), a proposal, including outline, introduction, illustrations list, sample captions, and a full manuscript (or printed book). If you are submitting a health cookbook proposal, include a list of recipes plus at least ten sample recipes with headnotes in addition to the information described above.
3. Sample illustrations or photographs (duplicates rather than originals).
4. A market analysis of the potential readership for the book, including title, publisher, and date of all similar books, with an explanation of how your book differs from each.
5. Author/illustrator/photographer biography, including publishing credits and credentials in the field.
Do not submit original material (either art or manuscript) and please keep a copy of your project. After submission, please direct all queries to Submissions@WisdomBooksPublishing.com or to the below address:
