Editorial Mazatlán has a limited staff and can only read a small number of manuscripts at any time. Before submitting a manuscript, please carefully review the existing publication list, to confirm that your submission meets our general needs. Always query before submitting any manuscript. Have patience... we cannot always answer queries in less than a month.
We do not publish fiction or poetry, nor material not related to Mexico.
We do not publish academic papers.
WE PUBLISH NON-FICTION FOR GENERAL READERS.
We have published a book of essays on living in Mexico, but are not publishing purely personal reflections about "my life in Fulanatlan" or "blogs".
Presently, we are looking for SHORT (under 40 pages, double spaced) manuscripts on the social history of the Pacific ports for the "Ports of Call" series. We will accept similar manuscripts dealing with the Caribbean and Gulf ports, but cannot promise to look at them until at least October 2008.
Similarly short manuscripts on practical issues for foreigners -- manners, social customs, business relations -- are being considered: IF THEY ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL OF MEXICO, and not specific to one community or locale.
Also needed are "practical Spanish" pamphlets -- a bi-lingual list of auto parts is in the works, but we are interested in similar material.
Slightly longer manuscripts (under 150 pages double-spaced) on famous ex-pats and Mexican emigres -- like Leona Carrington, or William Spratling -- or dealing with Mexican historical figures of interest to English-speaking readers (like the San Patricios) will also be considered at this time.
Use the form on the "Contact Us" page clearly outlining your proposed submission in the "comments" section.
