Author Submissions

Craftmasters Books will consider proposals for non-fiction books aimed at artists and craftspeople.  We do not publish fiction, poetry or academic books.

All submissions must be made in writing. Though we will discuss concepts and ideas via email, we accept full publishing proposals by mail only. In such instances please include a one-page synopsis of your work, a contents page, one or two sample chapters, sample illustrations (on CD if you wish) and a brief biography stating previous (if any) publications.

We require all manuscript submissions to be typed, double-spaced, and printed out on 8 1/2" by 11" paper. Please avoid elaborate binding and staples, and ensure that all pages are numbered. If you are a commissioned author sending an electronic version of your manuscript via email or disk, please set the manuscript and all requirements out in a Word document. Please retain a copy of your manuscript, and do not send original illustrations unless otherwise agreed with us.

If you wish to have your manuscript returned, please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope. In most cases, you should hear from us in four to six weeks.

Please address your email enquiries to newbooks@craftmasters.com    Address printed proposals, manuscripts and other mail to:
