Submission Guidelines:
| With your letter, you should send a synopsis/summary, ideally a

consecutively written sample material (in other words, do not send
sample chapters from beginning, middle and end). |
| Your typewritten pages should be double-spaced, single-sided,
loose-leaf A4, and you should tell us whether you'd like the entire
