Submitting a manuscript
Before sending any manuscript or proposal to Third Age Press, please have a good look at our Bookstore pages to see what kind of books we publish. Granted, they are a very eclectic mix. With the exception of ‘It’s Never Too Late to Fall in Love’ we do not publish fiction. Many of our books are suitable for triggering reminiscence (The Cricketer’s Progress or Best Remembered) but the only kind of personal memoirs we would consider would be those about a well known individual (eg: The Amazing Mrs Shufflewick). Our general remit is that all books must have some kind of a practical application that will help and encourage older people to do interesting and stimulating things with their lives. However, if you have a good idea along these lines that you would like to develop, or have developed, please write or send an email (see below) giving an outline and possibly sample chapters.
