A traditional publishing press committed to contemporary and classic international literature
A moment of recollection
Connect with Everly
“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?”
― George Orwell
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Everly accepts submissions from both authors and literary agents. Before sending any materials, it is always best to submit a Querry Letter that introduces the topic; briefly outlines the author's project; and discusses relevant competing works, the potential market, the availability of the complete manuscript (or its likely completion date), and the manuscript's (tentative) length. A copy of the author's vita/resume with publishing history should accompany your inquiry.
To obtain a better idea of our publishing program, authors and agents are urged to review Everly's complete catalog or browse our Web site. There are also descriptions of our subject listings in Books in Print, The Literary Market Place, Writer's Market, and other relevant reference works.
For a timely review of content we are only accepting electronically submitted manuscripts.
The manuscripts should be correctly edited and polished. See Everly Submission Style Guide for direction.
PLEASE NOTE: TELEPHONE INQUIRIES ARE NOT ACCEPTED
In the next acquisition phase, the Editorial Department may request a detailed proposal and/or all or part of your manuscript for review. To facilitate deliberation, the detailed proposal will require you to expand more fully on the information offered in the initial query.
Moving forward, we will ask you to submit an electronic copy of your manuscript through a secure Everly server. The text should be, at minimum, double-spaced and non-proportionally spaced (i.e., unjustified right margins) for ease of editing.
Please be sure that your pages are consecutively numbered throughout. Do not number chapters separately.
If illustrations, art, photographs, graphs, charts, or the like are integral to the work, please provide photocopies of these. We will contact you to verify the rights and/or other legalities associated with your submission.
We prefer to create and maintain a climate of transparency with our authors and customers. If a proposal or a partial or complete manuscript is requested from the author or agent, Everly prefers to be the only house receiving the work. However, in very few cases, we will accept simultaneous submissions provided that the author or agent makes this clear in a cover letter and immediately informs us if and when another publisher has tendered an offer or has accepted the work for publication.
Please send your inquiry to:
