We primarily publish materials, books, apps, and lesson plans for Jewish education for children in grades K-12 in both formal and informal educational settings. We also welcome submissions of materials for Jewish adult education, Jewish stories (especially stories for children), haggadot and siddurim, and books of a Jewish nature on any topic.
Your submission should include:
- Cover letter with a brief description of the book
- Intended audience and market for the book
- Your background (occupation, education, prior writing, etc.)
- Table of Contents
- At least two sample chapters, although the complete manuscript is preferable and will provide us with better information with which to make a decision
We prefer manuscript submissions and book proposals in digital format as a Word document, double spaced. Please send your digital submissions to the Editorial Committee, submissions@behrmanhouse.com.
If you choose to send a hard copy, make sure it is typed, double-spaced, single-sided, on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Please submit photocopies only; no originals.
Please send hard copy submissions to:
