Information for Non-Agented Authors

Due to a small staff and other considerations, Encounter Books no longer reviews non-agented submissions and we take no responsibility for unsolicited submissions. Authors who wish to find a literary agent to represent them should consult Writer’s Market or Literary Marketplace, both of which are available in most public libraries.

Information for Agents

Encounter Books publishes serious non-fiction in the areas of history, religion, biography, education, public policy, current affairs, social sciences, and politics. We are dedicated to well conceived and well argued works that promise to stimulate dialogue and that will have a long shelf life in bookstores and libraries, as well as within the classroom.

· Please review our catalog before submitting material.

· Please do not send the entire manuscript.

· Encounter Books does not accept manuscript proposals via e-mail.
