Images and Illustrations
Images should be submitted as separate, clearly named files whenever possible. For professional printing, final images may need to be high-resolution, generally 300 dpi at the intended print size.
Authors are responsible for identifying the source of each image and obtaining any necessary written permission for its use. Do not submit images taken from websites or social media unless you own them or have permission to publish them.
Copyright, Quotations and Permissions
Your manuscript must be your original work or contain material you are legally authorized to use.
Please identify:
• Extended quotations
• Song lyrics
• Poems written by others
• Photographs and illustrations
• Tables, maps or charts from other sources
• Previously published material
• Contributions made by co-authors or other writers
Permission requirements will be reviewed before publication. The author remains responsible for the accuracy of ownership and permission information provided.
Artificial Intelligence and Assisted Writing
If artificial-intelligence tools were used substantially to generate, rewrite, translate or illustrate any part of the book, please disclose this when submitting the manuscript.
Authors remain responsible for the manuscript’s originality, accuracy, citations, permissions and compliance with applicable laws. AI-assisted material must be carefully reviewed and must not infringe another person’s copyright, privacy or other rights.
Academic and Research Manuscripts
Academic manuscripts should use a consistent citation style and include complete references or a bibliography. Authors are responsible for checking quotations, citations, names, dates and factual claims.
Any research involving confidential, personal or protected information must comply with applicable ethical and legal requirements.
Our Assessment Process
After receiving your submission, Huggins Publishers may review:
• The manuscript’s completeness and readability
• Editorial and proofreading needs
• The intended audience and market positioning
• Interior-design and cover requirements
• Image quality and permission needs
• Printing and distribution suitability
• The most appropriate publishing pathway
Submission does not guarantee acceptance or publication. If the manuscript is suitable, we will provide a written publishing offer explaining the proposed services, responsibilities, costs, royalties and next steps.
Do Not Send Payment with Your Manuscript
No payment is required merely for submitting a manuscript for initial consideration. If your project is accepted, any applicable fees and payment arrangements will be stated clearly in the written publishing offer or agreement.
Author Responsibility
Before publication, the author is responsible for reviewing and approving edited text, interior proofs, cover proofs and publication information. Approval should be given only after all requested corrections have been checked carefully.
