About Bennett & Hastings Publishing
We founded our company so that authors could have more control over the final look and feel of their publications. The result is availability of work that is unique and at least a little beyond the bell curve.
Bennett & Hastings Publishing is an independent press. We offer traditional publishing contracts and distribution services as well as collaborative publishing contracts. Our services include design, production, distribution and promotion.
Submission Guidelines" section: We are reviewing fiction and history manuscripts for 2011. Send an e-mail to submissions@bennetthastings.com. Provide a one-page summary of your manuscript. Include your contact information. We are currently not accepting proposals for poetry or children's books.
Readers of B&H publications will find viewpoints and voices that wake the mind by moving outside the predictable. The humor, life experiences and visionary thinking of the writers we work with keep us young at heart!
We hope you enjoy our work, and please contact us if you are considering publishing your writing.
