Submission Guidelines

We primarily publish textbooks for the Jewish religious school classroom.  We also welcome submissions 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

Submissions must be in "hard copy" form. We cannot accept disks, emails, or other electronic submissions. Please submit photocopies only; no originals. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, single-sided, on 8-1/2 x 11 paper.

Please send your submission to:

Editorial Committee
Behrman House

After our Editorial Committee has reviewed your work we will return the manuscript to you or, if there is interest in your work, you will be contacted by a member of our editorial staff. Please allow three months for us to consider your submission. To ensure proper return, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope.

If you wish to inquire about your submission, please write to the Editorial Committee at the above address.

Thank you for your interest in our firm.
