Policies and Guidelines

Manuscript Submission Policy

Thank you for your interest in Visible Ink Press. At this time, we do not accept unsolicited manuscript submissions. Unless of course, you know someone who knows someone. Regardless of who you do know, it may be worthwhile to check back occasionally on this policy, as we may change our minds. Also, review this Web site closely to learn more about the types of books we currently publish, which is limited to "popular reference," or "nearly popular reference," or "occasionally popular reference," and does not include fiction, poetry, autobiography, children's literature, or how-to manuals, however popular. Unless of course, we change our minds.

Thank You,
The Management
