I'm a reader. Where
are Anomalist Books available?
On Amazon.com, of
course, at BarnesandNoble.com, and just about everywhere else.
Anomalist Books are available for order through almost all bookstores
in the United States and the United Kingdom.

I'm a bookseller. Where
can we get your books?
If
you are just looking
for one or two copies, your best bet is to order the book through one
of our distributors. Our books are distributed by Ingram in the U.S.
and Bertrams in the U.K. as well as through other distributors. (Please
do not be concerned with the inventory numbers which may appear in the
Ingram database. All our titles are always available from the main
Ingram warehouse in Tennessee, and will ship within 48 hours of an
order being placed. Just indicate a backorder on your Ingram order
form.) If you are looking to place a bulk order at a discount, contact
us directly right
.

I'm a writer and
would like to submit a manuscript. What kinds of books are you looking
for?
We seek well written, well researched works
on maverick science, unexplained mysteries, unorthodox theories,
strange talents, and unexpected discoveries. We are looking for
original manuscripts as well as reprints. We do not publish fiction--at
least not willingly.
What are my
chances of getting published here?
Pretty slim,
frankly. We are highly selective. We will turn down more than 95
percent of the works submitted to us. We only want the best.
How will you
promote my book?
The way any other publisher does
it. We'll send out review copies. Write a press
release. And do our darnedest to get your book (our book)
noticed. But frankly you'll have to do most of the selling
yourself. We're just being honest. This is the big dirty secret in the
publishing world -- what no publisher, big or small, wants to tell you:
how well a book does depends entirely on how much effort the author is
willing to put into it. It helps to be lucky, too.
Where do I
submit my proposal?
Right
.Tell
us what your book is about in one paragraph and tell us about
yourself in another paragraph. If we want to see more, we'll let you
know.
Are you a
traditional publisher or vanity press?
We are not
a a vanity press. We do not charge our authors. But we are not a
multinational conglomerate either, which means we are not rich, so we
cannot offer advances. If all you care about is making a fortune, you'd
better look elsewhere. We simply want to publish good books. Everything
else is secondary. We are a traditional publisher in the sense that we
are highly selective about the books we publish, edit our books
carefully, and work with a designer to produce attractive, eye-catching
books. And we do it all using print-on-demand technology. Why? Because
it's the future of publishing, that's why. Truly.
