We accept submissions of non-fiction: biography, culture, current affairs, travel, photography and guidebooks. Manuscripts should have a strong East Asian theme or connection. Please include:

        >  a short synopsis of your book, outlining its major elements
        >  a few sample chapters, or sample photography/artwork    
        >  some information about yourself, explaining how you will help to promote the book
        >  if possible, a comparison of your book to any similar titles on the market

Submissions should be sent as .doc file attachments or hard copy printouts to:

Pete Spurrier, Publisher
PO Box 33761, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

We are a small house and it may take us forever (or at least eight weeks) to get back to you, but thanks for letting us see your work. Please note that we receive a large number of submissions each week, so if your approach does not include any of the above elements, or is for a genre of book that we do not publish, we cannot guarantee a timely response.
