- topics of relevance to adults and young adults improving their reading
- 10,000 words or fewer
- clearly identifiable narrative. Tell a story!
- second- to fourth-grade reading level, simple tenses
- short sentences and frequent chapter breaks
If you would like to submit a proposal for consideration, please follow the checklist below and send an inquiry to: literacy@gemmmedia.org
- Working title and an alternative
- One paragraph synopsis of your work—more is good, less is better.
- Estimated length and delivery date
- Audience
- Table of contents, with a sentence or two describing each chapter
- Sample chapter rather than a complete manuscript
- Your biography, briefly, please
- Marketing opportunities
