Publishing with Paper Spider

Thank you for considering Paper Spider as your publisher. We produce high quality books for publication and promote them to markets that promise the highest yields.

Please read this section—Publishing with Paper Spider—as well as Overview and Guidelines in their entirety before submitting a query or proposal to us.

Overview describes what you can expect from submission to publication.
Guidelines contain technical details of our submission requirements.

What are we looking for?

Each submission is treated confidentially and sensitively. We invite book-length manuscript submissions that meet the following criteria:

  • Non-fiction
  • Written in English
  • At least 15,000 words
  • Geared for adult readers, such as self-help, how-to books, business, inspirational, religion, etc.
  • Subject matter has an identifiable market

In addition:

  • We give preference to Canadian authors
  • We give priority to subject matters that would interest Jewish readers

We accept simultaneous submissions (i.e. book projects submitted to multiple publishers/agents at the same time). However, if you know that your book project will be accepted by another publisher, you must inform us promptly.

Like many publishers, we like to work with authors who understand the book trade and the publishing process in addition to writing. We encourage new writers who submit to us to learn more about these areas.

We will assess your manuscript based on its quality as well as on how well we think the book can be successfully marketed by Paper Spider. We expect our authors to understand their readership, know who their audience is and where they may be found.
