Submission Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in Teen Town Press.

To continue our tradition of excellence in publishing, we seek high-caliber authors who produce original material that appeals to our teen readers. We are interested in nonfiction books that emphasize self-improvement, personal motivation, overall wellness or mind/body/spirit integration.

Most of our authors are established experts in their fields and, in some cases, already enjoy national recognition. Many of the authors we publish are professional speakers and consultants who conduct workshops, seminars, or training classes regionally or nationwide. Therefore, these authors are well prepared to promote their books successfully.

The publishing process at Teen Town Press begins with a book proposal. We require prospective authors to follow our submission guidelines in preparing their proposals.
