Book/Gift/Game Idea Submission
Thomas Media is always looking to add to our collective creative genius. We work with authors to develop great book or gift ideas which can inspire audiences worldwide.
We are interested in books, gift or game ideas that will establish a unique standard in their subject area. Thomas Media publishes a wide range of books, stationery, kits, calendars, and novelty formats. This includes everything from creativity, art, education, fashion, fun, humour, memoir, biography, health, parenting, love, relationships, gift ideas, interactive journals, kits, decks, stationery, and much, much more
In order to consider your nonfiction book for potential publication, we need to see a proposal that includes the following items:
- A title and a subtitle.
- A one-paragraph overview that explains the premise of your book, why you wrote it, and who you see the audience being (with any relevant demographic data you might have about the potential size of the audience).
- A brief author biography (1–2 pages) that focuses on why you are uniquely qualified to write your book and what kind of platform you have to reach a wide audience.
- A table of contents that outlines the book, with chapter and section titles, as well as brief descriptions of the material each chapter and/or section will cover. It should be no more than ten pages total.
- A market analysis of the potential readership for your book, including a comparison to similar books. When comparing your proposal to other works, please briefly explain (just several sentences) how your proposed book differs from these titles. Please limit yourself to 3–4 books.
- A sample chapter that is representative of the style and content of the larger work.
To get things started, send us the above to submissions@thomasmedia.ie. Please do not send the complete book, just a sample and the above information is all we need to get started.
