PLEASE READ GUIDELINES CAREFULLY
If you would like to be considered for publication by Typology, it is VERY important that you comply with guidelines. Any submission that does not comply will be dismissed without response.
For submissions that comply with the guidelines, please allow four weeks for a response (though it may be sooner).
Firstly, please ensure you familiarise yourself with our core business. We ONLY publish books that can be represented across modes and formats.
GUIDELINES
Send an email with the subject line ‘Submission: [your surname]’ addressing the following:
Name of text
Genre
Target reader age group
Short author bio
One paragraph synopsis
Social media strategy
Cross-platform summary (ideas)
Attach to the email a PDF of the first three chapters of your manuscript.
The above points are standard for most publishers, however, in addition to these points, because we publish books across modes in different formats, please ensure you include your cross-platform summary. This is just a paragraph or two (no more than 300 words) about your vision for how your manuscript may be represented in different modes and/or integrated across platforms.
