Submissions

Thank you for your interest in The Dundurn Group. If you wish to submit a manuscript for our consideration, first ensure that your book would be a good fit with our publishing program. Please browse our website to learn more about the kinds of books we publish.

Your submission package should include the following:

• A cover letter
• A self-addressed, stamped envelope large enough to return your work. Even if you do not want your work returned, please enclose a letter-sized envelope for our response.
• A one-page (250-word) synopsis of the contents of your book. For non-fiction, please include a table of contents.
• A resume or CV that includes an outline of your past publishing experience
• Either a complete manuscript or at least three sample chapters. In either case, we require a hard copy of the material. Please use Times New Roman (or comparable font), 12-point type, double-spaced, standard margins (1"-1.5"). It is not necessary to bind the manuscript.

Please advise us of the word count for the manuscript. If you are submitting sample chapters only, we need to know the word count of the complete manuscript.

The package should be addressed to:

Acquisitions Editor
The Dundurn Group
3 Church Street, Suite 500
Toronto, Ontario
M5E 1M2

 

It is important that you address your submission to "Acquisitions Editor" so that it will be promptly logged into our system, allowing us to track its progress. It will then be passed on to the appropriate person for consideration.

We will do our best to respond to nonfiction submissions within three months of receiving the material. Fiction submissions will be reviewed twice annually, in the spring and in the fall.

Multiple submissions are accepted.

Important Notes:

• We DO NOT accept email submissions.
• We DO NOT publish children's books for readers under seven years of age.
• If you are submitting from outside of Canada, please enclose an International Reply Coupon with your self-addressed envelope. Postage from other countries is not recognized by Canada's postal system.
