Talk to a publishing advisor.
A real person, not a chatbot and not a salesperson on commission. Tell us where your book stands and you'll have a written scope within one business day.
Three ways to start.
Most authors begin with the form. If you would rather talk it through, the phone line is answered by an advisor during business hours.

Attach a sample if you like — we sign an NDA on request first.

A note on scams
People impersonating publishing companies target independent authors constantly. We will never cold-call you claiming a film studio wants your book, never ask for payment by gift card or crypto, and never invoice from a domain other than penghousepublishers.com. If something feels off, call the number on this page and check.

One business day, one written scope, no payment details required.
Quick answers.
How fast will I hear back?
One business day for a written scope. If you call during business hours you will usually speak to an advisor immediately.
Will you sign an NDA before I send pages?
Yes, and we would rather you asked. Say so in the form and we will send one before you attach anything.
Do you work with authors outside the US?
About half our authors are outside the US — mostly the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Ireland. Calls are scheduled in your time zone and we invoice in your currency.
I only have an idea, not a manuscript. Too early?
Not at all. That is exactly the point at which a conversation is most useful, and it is usually the cheapest moment to change direction.
