Getting Published
Harcourt Trade Publishers (formerly Harcourt Brace & Company) is dedicated to publishing general interest books in a variety of areas and genres, including fiction, literature, poetry, history, current events, sociology, science, autobiography, and language for adult readers, and quality board books and novelty items, illustrated picture books, easy readers, and novels for children of all ages.

Harcourt does not accept unsolicited query letters, e-mails, manuscripts, or illustrations, and we regret that we cannot return any unsolicited material. We require all such materials to come to us through a literary agent, and encourage aspiring writers and illustrators to submit work to an agent who specializes in their area of creativity. A listing of agents may be found in The Literary Marketplace (LMP), an annual reference guide available at most public libraries.

LMP also lists a number of organizations for writers and illustrators. A selection of these groups and links to their Web Sites are as follows: You may find these and other such organizations will enhance your creativity and add to your knowledge of the publishing process.
