GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPTS TO GREENERY PRESS

Guidelines for nonfiction books:

Your best bet for selling a book to us is to develop a well-written and well-organized how-to book on some aspect of human sexuality, preferably an aspect that has not been extensively written about in the past.

We prefer books between 30,000 and 80,000 words in length, although we have accepted books which are both longer and shorter. We like books with a distinct authorial voice and a touch of humor. We insist on an extremely responsible stance on issues of consent and safety.

We are not interested in:
- personal memoirs (unless you are well-known or your life has been extraordinary)
- humor or poetry
- books that are primarily visual (e.g., graphic novels or coffee-table books)
- books about sexual politics or philosophy

Guidelines for fiction books:

Greenery Press is no longer accepting fiction submissions.

How to submit your book:

Start with a simple email query to jhardy@greenerypress.com. If we are interested, we will request an outline or synopsis plus two sample chapters, along with a cover letter explaining who you think would read your book and why. If we want hard copy, we will ask for it.

Please understand that we are a very small company and that our editorial staff is pressed for time. It may take several months for us to get back to you. A quick email to ascertain whether or not we have received your material is acceptable. We appreciate your consideration.
