Submissions
We are always open to hearing about new and wonderful ideas. But before you submit your idea or art to Quirk Packaging, please familiarize yourself with our titles. This will save us time and save you postage.
How Can I Submit My Idea to Quirk?
The best way to submit your idea is to send a proposal to our editors. Please include a cover letter giving a brief description of the project and what is included in the package. Your proposal should include the following items:
  • a full outline or table of contents
  • sample text/chapters (approximately 10 to 15 pages of text)
  • a market analysis of the potential readership for the book, including what bookstore category it fits, and any data you have on the size of this market
  • a list of competing titles, including title, publisher, price, and publication date of all similar books, with an explanation of how your book differs from them
  • an author biography that includes previous publishing credits and credentials in the field
Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you would like your materials returned to you.
