DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL ART, DESIGN EXAMPLES, OR PHOTOGRAPHY, as we cannot be liable for lost or damaged materials. If you wish to have materials returned to you, you must include return packaging and postage. We will make arrangements to view the portfolios of eligible freelancers on a drop-off or mail-return basis.
We keep tear sheets and samples of eligible freelancers on file. You may send in fresh samples to add to your file if you feel you have done work that shows a significant shift in style or media, or that you think is particularly appropriate to the kinds of books we publish.
Due to the volume of submissions we receive, you will not be contacted unless we wish to discuss a project with you. Thank you for your interest.
