Author Information

Submit your book or one chapter in WORD format in 12-pt plain text using Garamond type and set your paragraph spacing to 1.25. Do not include pictures, bold type, italics, art, or font size changes in your manuscript. The book should be edited and polished, spell and grammar checked and ready to go for print, only needing minor edits. Remember to use only single spaces after sentences and do not use abbreviations. By using WORD, you have access to the Editor located at the right top corner of  the program. This will find repeated words, grammar, spelling, punctuation errors as well as other items that are easy to miss.

Send a few photos as separate files and let us know how many photos or illustrations you would like to include in the book. This will determine the format. In most cases, all photos will be placed at the end of the book if we use a standard 6" x 9" trade format book. All photos must be your own, or permission from the photographer included. Book length should be at least 50,000 words to a maximum of 80,000 words, except in the case of a  project involving multiple authors. 

Send via email to hearthmasters.office@gmail.com  If the file is too large, send it by dropbox or link to the cloud. Be sure to include your name, phone number and e-mail address. 

We will contact you after reviewing your manuscript to let you know if we are interested in publishing, and what our time frame may be for completing the project. Allow three to six months for completion in most cases. The publishing process takes time.
