Please send in your submission in the form of a query or proposal, addressed to Betsy Martin, bookproposals @ uua.org.
A query is a way to gauge interest in a book idea before submitting a full proposal. This is appropriate when preparing a proposal would require significant effort (e.g., soliciting contributors for a book of essays). A query should be 1-3 pages long and include the following:
- Description of the proposed manuscript
- The author’s qualifications
- Explanation of why the proposed manuscript is appropriate for the Skinner House audience
A proposal should include:
- A cover letter that summarizes the proposed manuscript, describes the author’s qualifications, and explains why the proposed manuscript is appropriate for the Skinner House audience

- 2 sample draft chapters
Please note:
- We do not consider unsolicited manuscripts.
- Unsolicited hard-copy manuscripts will not be returned.
- All submissions must be sent electronically, with all of the required elements in one document.
- Due to the large number of submissions we receive, Skinner House is unable to comment in detail on proposals that are declined.
