Submit your entire manuscript, even if you are submitting a novel. They accept submissions through mail and email. They do not accept registered or certified mail and there is no need to include a self addressed and stamped envelope.
If you are submitting a picture book, there is no need to submit illustrations, but if you are an artist that has them, include copies, never originals.
