Addicus Books is seeking titles on: consumer health, self-help, psychology, business, economics, investing, and books of regional interest. First, we prefer an e-mail query, letting us know what your topic is. (We publish only nonfiction.) Tell us about: the nature of your topic, your background, who the market is for your book, and how this market would be reached. Due to the amount of queries we receive daily, our editors are not available for phone inquiries. When querying by e-mail, send only a one-page e-mail, giving an overview of your book, and its market. Do not send attachments unless invited to do so. If we’re interested in taking a closer look at your book, we’ll contact you after we receive your query. We may ask for a proposal.
