AGREEMENT
AUTHOR'S GUIDELINES
Query Letter: The first step in the process of being published is to send a query letter to Polygon Publishing, 73412 Mariposa Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260 or e-mail polygnpublishing@aol.com. The first paragraph must grab our attention. Why should we publish this book? What makes you an expert in this topic? Who is your target audience? How are you going to reach them? Be concise. Include your contact information. One page maximum.
Submission Request: If we like your query letter, we are going to ask you to send us an outline of chapters, three sample chapters and a synopsis. We base each request on the individual author and the work. We review the materials you have submitted. If we continue to be impressed with your work, then we will ask you to submit your completed manuscript in two formats, a printed copy and a disc. Your manuscript will be reviewed in a timely manner.
Acceptance: If after reviewing your manuscript, we feel that we can provide you with an excellent chance of success, we will send you an acceptance letter. The letter will congratulate you on providing us a wonderful product to publish and will request some additional information so an agreement can be made.
Agreement: Because every author and book are different, we offer contracts which are specifically designed for your work. We will negociate with you to reach an agreement that is both fair and equitable for both of us. We look for long term relationships with our authors.
