Hal Leonard Performing Arts Publishing Group welcomes submissions pertaining to music and the performing arts.
As a first step in submitting a manuscript, we recommend that you send a book proposal consisting of:
1.A letter describing the purpose and audience of your book, along with your background and qualifications; please indicate which word-processing software you use
2.An outline or table of contents and an estimate of the length of the completed manuscript in numbers of words or double-spaced pages
3.A sample chapter or two, printed out (no electronic file transfers, please)
4.Sample illustrations as well as an estimate of the total numbers and types of illustrations planned for your book
5.Your schedule to complete the book
Generally, we ask authors to submit book proposals early in the writing process as this allows us to give editorial advice during the development phase and cuts down the amount of revisions needed later.
