Zephyr Catalog history

The Zephyr Catalog offers outstanding, high-quality resources for exceptional educators. The Zephyr Catalog is based in Chicago, IL. We work in tandem with Zephyr Press, an imprint of Chicago Review Press, bringing you their materials, and other items we think supplement today's vibrant classrooms. Zephyr Press publishes education resources for teachers that help them better understand how kids learn and how they can be more effective in the classroom, focusing on gifted education.

In searching for the items in The Zephyr Catalog, we look to you, our customers, for suggestions. Our increased show presence has given us the opportunity to personally meet many of you, our valued customers and educators. By broadening our travels to attend more conferences in the education market, we continue to have important conversations with our educators, paying close attention to the needs arising in their field. These conversations enable us to develop books in the special areas of interest to teachers in the K-12 market who are continually searching for resources to make their classroom an exciting place for students to learn. If you have ideas or opinions about our products, please let us know. We appreciate you interest and look forward to it.

We publish The Zephyr Catalog twice a year, fall and spring, and we send out email newsletters throughout the year. We strive to mail our catalog efficiently, and we certainly don't want to bother you with unnecessary communication, so please let us know if your mailing and e-mailing preferences change.

Our order form provides up-to-date information on the catalog mailing, and how you can opt-out of receiving future catalogs. We suggest you visit the Direct Mail Association's Web site to learn more about direct mail, and your privacy options. Visit www.dmaconsumers.org to get started, or write to them for information: Mail Preference Service, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512.

To submit a product (book, game, poster, etc.) to The Zephyr Catalog for sales consideration, please email your product and contact information to zephyrpress@zephyrpress.com. You'll be contacted if a sample is needed. Thank you!

Please note: The Zephyr Catalog operates in tandem with Zephyr Press, an imprint of Chicago Review Press. Below are instructions to submit a manuscript for publishing with Zephyr Press.

If you would like to submit a book proposal to Zephyr Press, please write to us at 814 N. Franklin, Chicago IL 60610. Please remember that we do not publish fiction or poetry, and we very rarely publish inspirational or self-help books. We will not accept proposals by e-mail unless you have cleared this method with the appropriate acquisitions editor.

Submit your proposal by first-class mail. Enclose a cover letter describing your book and your credentials. If you want to include a portion of your manuscript, please send no more than the table of contents and 1-2 sample chapters (typed, double-spaced, and paginated). Make certain that the author's name, address, and phone number appear on the first page of the manuscript.

Also, please provide the following information:

• Audience/Market. For what audience is the book written? Are there possibilities for special sales of your book to organizations and institutions? If so, which ones?



• Competition. Indicate competing titles. How will your book be superior to or different from them?



• Manuscript Length and Electronic Submission. What is the estimated length of the proposed manuscript, printed double-spaced on 8½" x 11" paper? We assume that you will prepare your manuscript on a computer and that you will submit a computer disk along with your printed text. Please tell us what word processing program and version number you use.



• Date of Completion. Indicate the date by which you expect to have a completed manuscript.

If you would like us to reply and return your material, please provide us with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Because we receive more queries and manuscripts than we can process promptly, please allow eight to ten weeks for a response. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as they are identified as such. Contact us immediately if your manuscript is accepted elsewhere for publication.
