Submission Guidelines for Writers and Illustrators

World Vision publishes books with a view to transform hearts and inspires action for God’s Kingdom. Our aim is to equip people of all ages with the knowledge, understanding, values, and skills that will empower them to help build a better world for children. Our books reflect Christ’s greatest commandments—to love God and our neighbors—within the global context of serving the poor.

We strongly encourage authors to become familiar with our publications before submitting any material. Please review books with the World Vision imprint on our Web site at www.worldvisionresources.com to determine if your manuscript is appropriate for us.

We seek manuscripts that present a global context for serving the poor and are mission-minded and hopeful. We also publish works exploring the diversity of cultures; and books that engage readers to respond to global poverty. Some of the categories we feature include:
  • Poverty and Advocacy
  • Global Education Resources for Children and Youth
  • Biblical Justice Resources
  • Justice Based Prayer and Spirituality Resources
Please provide the following information in your book proposal:
  • Cover letter containing a brief description of the project. Consider the following questions: Why are you developing this project? What is the topic of importance? What is the project designed to accomplish? How does it meet the need you have identified? What new information is offered? In what ways will the project add to current knowledge and practice? What will the project help the audiences to do, understand, improve, carry out, and so on?
  • A description of the intended market including an explanation of why someone would want to buy the book. Include a list of competing titles and how yours differs from the competition. Also provide information on how you as the author would promote and market the book.
  • An outline and/or annotated table of contents.
  • Brief summary of your background and credentials.
  • One to two sample chapters.
Please send us your proposal electronically, as an e-mail attachment. E-mail to: wvresources@worldvision.org

Our reply timeline for submissions is generally 3-4 weeks. Please do not call or e-mail to inquire about the status of your submission. We regret that we cannot comment on manuscripts we are unable to accept.
