SUBMISSIONS
Xyzzy Press seeks to enrich lives through written words. While Xyzzy Press may publish works of fiction, non-fiction lends itself more to our objectives. In particular, our target audience will be people that are connected and want to continue their life education after college. Our target book segments will be personal development and expressive communication.
We are looking for books in the areas of; lifestyle, motivation, religion, food, cooking, health, athletics, personal growth, personal management, personal finances, leisure, travel, entertainment, wellness, philosophy, general humor, art, poetry, and politics.
Xyzzy Press does not have specific requirements for
submissions. However, if you are unsure of what to
send, here is a list of suggestions.
1. A cover letter detailing the attributes of the
book. Some factors to be considered would be, the
intended audience, the author's contribution to the
work (the author's status in his field, how
recognizable the name is, and in what ways the author
could contribute to the overall support of the book),
and other factors that might make the book marketable.
2. An outline of the book
3. Several chapters from the book
Obviously, Xyzzy Press will research comparable titles
to the book. However, if the author has done any work
in this area, the research should be included to aid
in the evaluation process.
Because we strive to be environmentally friendly, we
prefer electronic submissions, which should be sent to
acquisitions@xyzzypress.com.
We will attempt to respond with one of the following:
suggestions for improvement, an alternative publisher,
a notification that the book isn't a match for us at
this time, or a request for more discussion. Our
review process could take several weeks due to many
factors, so please be patient.
