Author Guidelines

Fairchild Books continues to build high performing teams to keep pace with innovative approaches and produce comprehensive works to drive our dynamic publication plan. Hallmarks of a high performing team are shared information, shared excitement, shared responsibilities, mutual accountability, and an ability to achieve results. We are committed to providing personal attention and developing strong partnerships to meet your publishing needs.


On this page you will find links to the resources created for authors by the Fairchild Books editorial staff to give authors the tools necessary to create their manuscripts. Additional resources are given to an author once a contract for a project is signed, but the files below contain the key information that will enable an author to create manuscripts that meet the requirements and standards of Fairchild Books. Please do not hesitate to contact the Fairchild editorial team or the specific editor(s) assigned to your project for more information about manuscript preparation and submission.
