We are always keen to talk to authors with ideas for new books. Our approach is to invest time with the author at the outset, to ensure that a project is viable and likely to satisfy a market need. Once we have given a project the go ahead, we are there to help during the writing process, and commit our resources to getting your book out as fast as we can. In most cases we can turn your manuscript into a book in three months.

You will also be encouraged to help us with the marketing of your book. Often you will know where and how the book can be promoted better than we do, so we're pleased when authors phone us and ask whether we have made the most of every possible opportunity. We visit bookshops regularly, as well as having an extensive range of distributors overseas.

If you think our approach may be right for you, and you have an idea you would like to discuss, please contact Julia Morris with proposals in Education, Policing and Sport and Di Page with proposals in Counselling, Nursing, Social Work and Youth and Community Work.
