Tuttle Publishing: Accepting Book Proposals

The Tuttle Publishing company was originally founded in 1832 in Vermont. This makes it one of the oldest American publishers still in operation. In 1948, the company established a publishing outpost in Japan, and since then they have become much more focused on producing English-language books about the arts, languages and cultures of Asia. In fact currently Tuttle Publishing is only open to unsolicited submissions of work on “Asia-related topics”. This includes Asian languages, cuisines, martial arts, arts and crafts, Eastern philosophies, etc. Do not submit any work outside of those topics to them. They are not interested in any fiction submissions.

You can read more about their history here. You can see more of their current catalog here. They have major international distribution which you can learn more about here.

They accept submissions via email and post, but very much prefer submissions be made via email. You can learn more about their proposal guidelines here.
