Now for the easy part.

Congratulations! You've written a future best-selling novel - or have you just finished a potential YA chart-topper; a memoire; a recipe book; a children's book; a photography volume fit to grace the fanciest coffee-tables in the land or perhaps a stirring, globe-trotting travelogue to conjure a fervid wunderlust in even the most cautious, home-loving heart?Now you just need to get it out into the world.

• Submissions

Email us the first three chapters or 50 pages of your book. We read all submissions so it might take a few weeks before you hear anything. If you haven't heard from us within 8 weeks perhaps send us a gentle reminder using the contact form here.

We've both been in the book business for 25 years. We run BirdyCat Books together and between the two of us possess that certain set of skills which allow us publish books on a small enough scale to do so stylishly, professionally and yet with a personal touch.

If you want to submit your manuscript to us, then send it via email (see the 'submit' link in the footer) Any other questions can be put to us here on the contact form.
