Bottom of the Hill Publishing Submissions Guidelines
Bottom of the Hill Publishing welcomes unsolicited submissions from published and unpublished writers. At this time Bottom of the Hill Publishing accepts proposals and editorial inquiries by email only. Please review the following guidelines before contacting us about publishing your work.
Please address all materials to:
submissions@bottomofthehillpublishing.com
Include Book Submission in the subject line.
Submit proposals via email in .doc or .pdf form.
We review every submission that arrives. We will acknowledge receipt of manuscripts upon arrival. Note that we check the submissions email only on Tuesday. You will receive a response from whether we are interested in pursuing publication or not. Please understand that it may take up to eight weeks for us to get back to you on working together but be assured that we will. Your materials will not be returned.
Bottom of the Hill Publishing Editorial Needs:
- For our general trade line, we are interested in acquiring books pertaining to Politics, Christian Life, History, Sustainable Living, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Folklore, Self-Help and Motivation.
- For our forthcoming Children’s line, we are seeking single-story manuscripts that feature Traditional Values, Education and Spiritual Growth.
All manuscripts and proposals should be in .doc or .pdf format. Please be sure your name, address, phone # and email address appear on the title page as well as on your cover letter.
Biographical data is especially helpful. We’re not necessarily looking for authors with degrees and credentials, but anything that helps establish a link between author and manuscript is useful to us. Please list any previous publication history as well.
Bottom of the Hill Publishing will read manuscripts being simultaneously submitted to other publishing houses.
Terms of Publication: For volumes accepted for publication on our trade list, we underwrite publication costs and compensate authors by paying a royalty based on net sales. Unless the author is working through a rights agent, Bottom of the Hill Publishing usually retains subsidiary rights (book club, film, paperback, etc.) and pays the author 20% on income earned from subsidiary use. We reserve the right to determine binding (hardcover v. paper), print run, publication date, retail price, and book design.
For Artists and Illustrators
- Bottom of the Hill Publishing considers of submissions of artwork separately from submissions of text, even if proposed for the same work.
