Frequently Asked Questions


How do I submit a book proposal?

Children's Proposals

We specialize in publishing quality books for children from toddler through ninth grade. Our children’s books focus on learning about the world around them and about themselves. If you would like to submit a proposal we would be happy to respond to a query letter accompanied by a brief outline or table of contents. When submitting a picture-book proposal please send the entire manuscript.

General Audience (All Ages) Proposals

For our general-interest lists, we specialize in publishing nonfiction biographies, history, and natural history. We also publish new fiction and poetry. To submit a proposal for an appropriate work of fiction/nonfiction, please send a query letter accompanied by a brief outline or table of contents to the address below.

How to Submit Your Proposal

When submitting a proposal to Byblos Press, please note:

  • We do not accept submissions or query letters via e-mail.
  • We are not responsible for materials sent with your proposal that become lost or damaged.
  • Please do not send original photographs, slides, or artwork, one-of-a-kind dummies or mock-ups, or irreplaceable items of any kind with your proposal. Running Press is not responsible for the return of such materials.
  • Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelop (SASE) with your submission so that we may send you a reply.
  • If you send materials you would like us to return to you, we ask that you enclose sufficient return postage. Once again, please do not send any original or irreplaceable materials—we receive dozens of submissions each week and cannot guarantee the return of materials, even when postage is provided.
  • We try to respond to all submissions within six to eight weeks.
