Ignatius Press:
Manuscript Submission Guidelines
1) Rarely publishes fiction and children's books. These genres are not among our main
focuses.
2) Does not have a market for poetry, collections of articles or essays which have already
been published, or prayer books.
3) Does not publish dissertations, theses, or pamphlets.
4) Does not accept manuscripts on electronic storage media, by e-mail, or by fax.
If the manuscript is accepted for publication, it will be copy-edited according to our house
style (a modification of that in The Chicago Manual of Style - 16th Edition).
Manuscripts should be double-spaced. Only completed, hard-copy manuscripts are
accepted for review; do not send proposals.
Manuscripts should be fully and carefully documented, proofread, and publishable at the
time of submission.

Please note that no manuscripts are returned.
Due to the high volume of unsolicited manuscripts received, the review period can take
from one month to several. We unfortunately cannot confirm receipt of manuscripts.
You will be notified regardless of our decision; do not write to check on the status of your
manuscript.
No phone calls or emails, please.
