Our guidelines. We do not have any specific guidelines in regard to the type of literature we are looking for. Our principal criterion is that the work be  well-written, and targeted for thoughtful and reflective readers. Click on the Submissions link to the left of this page and read our guidelines before you submit your work. A small press such as ours does not have an efficient marketing organization. We will give an extra careful look at submissions that show that the author  would be actively involved in the publicity and marketing of his or her work, and that he/she has read our guidelines.  

We presently have a great backlog of mss. under consideration, so any new mss. we receive will not be immediately evaluated. Additionally, we are still mourning the death of our founder and chief editor, Kathleen Palmer, who passed away in November after a brief illness. Kathleen is an irreplaceable loss, and her passing is keenly felt by everyone here at Alondra Press. All the writers who interacted with her and who were fortunate enough to have benefited from her sage and sensitive editing skills will no doubt also mourn her demise. At present, all prospective writers should address their queries and proposals to Pennelope Aletras-Leight who will be taking her place in the future.

  OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE ALONDRA PRESS IMPRINT ONE THAT WILL
                   EVOKE  AN IMAGE OF BOOKS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY.
