Manuscript Submissions:

Like most big publishers, Anchor Books only accepts manuscripts submitted by an agent--the volume of materials we receive is just too large to accept unsolicited submissions. There is an excellent listing of literary agents in a book called The Writer's Market, which you should be able to find in a local bookstore or library. You can also visit their Web site at www.writersdigest.com for more information.

Any unsolicited manuscripts received by Anchor Books will be discarded. We are unable to return any such unsolicited materials.
