Home / Submissions


SUBMISSIONS

Inspired by the enduring magic of books, we cultivate and distribute exceptional
publishing that is instantly recognizable for its spirit and creativity. Our
collaborations spark the passions of adults and children worldwide, encouraging
them to explore, connect, and see things differently.

Chronicle Books is committed to publishing authors, illustrators, and creators
of diverse backgrounds and points of view. We enjoy collaborating with authors
to further our work as a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and collaborative
publishing house.

To encourage submissions from a wide range of potential authors, Chronicle Books
has an open submissions policy. We accept unagented submissions of any projects
suited to our list, from brilliant books to innovative gift products.
Before sending projects to us, please read the following guidelines carefully.

 * Adult Trade Submissions
 * Children’s Submissions (picture books, middle grade, or young adult)
 * Portfolio Submissions (freelance illustrator, photographer, or other visual
   artist guidelines)
 * Freelance Writer Submissions 



 


ADULT TRADE SUBMISSIONS

Chronicle Books publishes a wide range of nonfiction books on our adult trade
list, in categories such as cooking, fine art, design, photography, pop culture,
fashion, beauty, home décor, personal relationships, and more. We also publish
innovative formats, such as interactive journals, decks, games, stationery, and
much, much more. Please note: We do not acquire adult fiction.

Please make sure to familiarize yourself with our publishing before you pitch!



General Guidelines

 * We currently accept submissions by email only, which can be sent to
   submissions@chroniclebooks.com.
 * Please attach your proposal to your email as a single Word file or PDF, and
   keep the file under 5MB or less to ensure delivery. Outside links and
   downloads may not be opened due to security risks.
 * Please allow six months for the editors to review a proposal.
 * Given the volume of proposals we receive, we cannot ensure that we will be
   able to personally respond to each submission unless we are interested in
   pursuing the project.
 * Because we currently only accept digital submissions, we are not responsible
   for any materials that are mailed to our physical location.


What to Include in Your Proposal

 * A one-page cover letter giving a brief description of the project and why you
   think Chronicle Books should publish it. If your proposal is a simultaneous
   submission, please indicate this in your cover letter.
 * Any available sample content to give us a clear picture of the project; this
   may include an outline, introduction, sample illustrations or photographs,
   sample captions, sample recipes or cards, and/or sample chapters.
 * An analysis of the potential readership for the book. Who is the consumer?
   Include a list of similar titles that are already available on the market,
   including the publisher, date of publication, and a brief explanation of how
   your project differs.
 * An author/illustrator/photographer biography that includes any publishing
   credits or credentials in the field. 

 


CHILDREN'S SUBMISSIONS

Please note that our submission guidelines have changed effective April 2022.

Chronicle Books, Children’s is no longer accepting physical submissions. Please
submit all unsolicited projects to childrenssubmissions@chroniclebooks.com.

Chronicle Books publishes an eclectic mixture of traditional and innovative
children's books. We are looking for projects that have a unique bent—be it in
subject matter, writing style, or illustrative technique—and that will lend our
list a distinctive flair. We are interested in fiction and nonfiction books for
children of all ages, as well as board books, decks, activity kits, and other
unusual or novelty formats.

General Guidelines

 * We currently accept submissions by email only, which can be sent to
   childrenssubmissions@chroniclebooks.com.
 * Please attach your proposal to your email as a single Word file or PDF, and
   keep the file under 5MB or less to ensure delivery. Outside links and
   downloads may not be opened due to security risks.
 * If your proposal is a simultaneous submission, please indicate this in your
   cover letter or email.
 * An automated reply email will serve as confirmation of receipt. If you do not
   receive one, your submission may not have arrived in our inbox.
 * Please allow six months for the editors to review a proposal.
 * Given the volume of proposals we receive, we cannot ensure that we will be
   able to personally respond to each submission unless we are interested in
   pursuing the project.
 * Because we currently only accept digital submissions, we are not responsible
   for any materials that are mailed to our physical location.

What to Include in Your Proposal

 * Books for younger children may be submitted in their entirety without
   querying first. Projects for older children—such as chapter books or YA
   novels—should be submitted by query letter, synopsis, and three (3) sample
   chapters.
 * If you have multiple project proposals, please note that we will not accept
   more than three (3) submissions by the same author and/or illustrator during
   the same 6-month period. If you are submitting more than one at the same
   time, please include all of them in the same email.
 * For manuscripts that are part of a series, please submit the first
   installment only. Information about the rest of the series may be included in
   the cover letter.

We receive more than 1,000 children's book submissions every month. For this
reason, we are not able to track receipt of or answer queries about individual
submissions.

PLEASE NOTE: These guidelines are for informational purposes only and do not
constitute a solicitation of any manuscript, artwork, transparencies, or other
material.


PORTFOLIO SUBMISSIONS

We often hire freelance illustrators, artists, and photographers to develop
commissioned artwork for books and products.

If you are interested in being considered for contract design, illustration, or
photography work on our projects, please send your website address to
portfolio_review@chroniclebooks.com. We prefer links to external portfolios
rather than email attachments.




FREELANCE WRITER SUBMISSIONS

We often hire freelance writers for book projects, particularly in humor,
pop-culture, or other specialized categories, and occasionally for non-book
formats with written content, such as decks, guided journals, or other gift
products.

If you are interested in being considered for contract writing work on our
projects, please send your website portfolio address to
submissions@chroniclebooks.com. Please particularly call out any writing with a
long-form focus, and if you have a particular field of experience or are
passionate about a particular topic, please share that with us! We will keep
your information on file, and reach out if we have a project in mind that you
might be a fit for.

PLEASE NOTE: These guidelines are for informational purposes only and do not
constitute a solicitation of any manuscript, artwork, transparencies, or other
material.
