At Appledorn, we are always interested in hearing
about new ideas to improve life. If you have an
idea for a book or report, send us a note and tell
us about what you have in mind. Contact us and
we'll reply and ask you to look over our
guidelines shown below:
We accept query letters through email or regular
mail, but we do not accept manuscripts unless
we request them. When you send us a query
letter, please briefly describe your book and its
market, and explain why you think it would be of
interest to readers.
There are many ways to provide information to
the public, and books are just one form. As you
explore your ideas for improving living, consider
whether they would best be presented in book,
report or audiotalk form.
