Manuscript Submissions

NEHGS publishes guides, how-to books, and books of transcribed records. If you have written or compiled such a book and want to submit the manuscript for consideration, please send the following, either electronically or in hard copy:

cover letter describing your project and why it would be a good fit for NEHGS and what the expected market would be
outline of the project or, if available, sample chapters (including a table of contents)
if no sample chapters are available, a writing sample of no more than twenty pages

Please allow up to three months for a reply.

NEHGS occasionally accepts for publication guides, how-to books, and books of transcribed records. We publish compiled genealogies only through our Newbury Street Press arm, which is supported by philanthropy. We are most likely to select books that can support themselves through book sales. Please note that we do not offer publishing services for hire.
