4. Submission Guidelines
Key Porter Books receives thousands of unsolicited manuscripts and book
proposals every year and does not usually publish these submissions. Due to the
amount of focus and energy spent on in-house projects, our editors rarely have
the time to review unsolicited work. The best advice we can give is to contact
a literary agent who can better represent you to the appropriate publishers.
Please note that we do not accept inquiries as to the status of unsolicited
manuscripts, but you will eventually receive a response. In addition, you are
always free to submit your work to several publishers simultaneously.
Although Key Porter Books does not review unsolicited manuscript submissions,
we do try and review queries and proposals. If you wish to submit your work to
our attention, send your package to Key Porter Books, 34 Nixon Road,
Bolton, ON, L7E 1W2, Attn: Submissions. No telephone calls or
emails please.
**Please note that all proposals and accompanying materials will
be discarded unless sufficient postage has been provided for their return.
Please do not send any original artwork or other irreplaceable materials. We do
not accept responsibility for any materials you submit.

5. What are Key Porter's terms for acceptance and
handling of photographs, and visual material submissions?
Although we take reasonable precautions in the handling and storage of images
we cannot take responsibility for original photos and our policy is as follows:
-
Key Porter does not accept original images for consideration. Key Porter
requests that duplicates only be submitted. If a photographer chooses to submit
originals, Key Porter will not accept responsibility for any damage to
originals in our possession.
-
Key Porter does not pay holding fees.
-
If production on a Key Porter title is delayed for longer than two seasons
(that is, 12 months), all images that have been selected for use in that title
will be returned to the photographers. Key Porter will keep a list of the
images selected and when production resumes, will request the return of the
images.
-
All images must be sent by bonded or overnight courier and will be returned by
bonded or overnight courier.
-
Payment for use of images is always made on publication of the book.
Payment for image use covers one-time use rights in any and all editions.
Territories will be specified and negotiated.
