Authors may query them on the first day of any month, giving the following information: *a three-sentence blurb about the book *its genre *its word count *names of three high-level potential endorsers *the best of previous publishing credits, three or four at most *whether the book fits into the publisher's Christian category or its general category.

Dutch, the Magazine being published in English

Dutch, the Magazine is a brand-new periodical currently being launched in Penticton, BC, and Oroville, WA. It's aimed at people with a Dutch connection living in North America, is being published in the English language, and invites submissions in English. Sorry I previously gave the impression that De Krant (in the Dutch language) is a new magazine. It has actually been around since 1969 and has a loyal readership throughout North America. Here's the link for Dutch, the Magazine http://www.dutchthemag.com/ and here's the one for De Krant http://www.dekrant.ca/.
