Submission Guidelines:
— You will receive a written response generally within a ten (10) week period. Please provide an email address for the response to be sent. We will be unable to answer telephone inquiries about your manuscript. Unsolicited manuscripts (or books) will not be returned. Please do not submit the entire script. Two to 3 sample chapters would be sufficient. Please do not send your originals. African American Images is not responsible for manuscripts that are lost. Manuscripts should be sent through the mail. Scripts sent by email or fax will not be considered. — We do not publish reprints, poetry, plays, essays, novels, autobiographies, or biographies. — Typically, we do not publish manuscripts exclusively addressing the Continent of Africa. — Generally speaking, African American Images publishes books from an Afrocentric frame of reference that promote self-esteem, collective values, liberation, and skill development. — We do not publish adult fiction. Our adult books, however, must provide solutions for African Americans. — We do publish juvenile fiction and non-fiction. — African American Images does not advance royalties. .
