Thank you for your interest in SCB Distributors. While we welcome all submissions, SCB is especially interested in publishers with established, active publishing programs.

Criteria
SCB's Editorial & Acquisitions Committee considers many criteria when assessing potential new publishers, but these elements are essential:

• Well-designed trade covers and interiors
• Strong publicity and promotional plans
• Self-capitalized publishers with creditable business plans
• Well-researched content
• Credible authors
• Ample resources for marketing opportunities

One-Book Publishers
SCB does not encourage submissions from publishers with single, self-published titles. Self-published authors benefit greatly from representing themselves to, and therefore learning about, the book trade. There are numerous good resources for startup self-publishers.

Further, SCB is not a book publisher, and cannot accept manuscripts from writers seeking publication.

Digital Submissions
Each digital submission should include:

• A full list of your existing titles, including ISBNs, publication dates, available stock and location, and PDF samplers (with cover images)
• Sales history for each title: Last Year, Previous Year and Lifetime
• A list of confirmed forthcoming titles, complete with short descriptions, marketing plans, and PDF samplers + cover images if available

Please email your submission to scb@scbdistributors.com
