ENTRIES

Thank you for choosing to submit your book proposal to SUVIO.nl. Our goal is to respond to every submission submitted. However, we cannot always guarantee that this is possible. Furthermore, some proposals are rejected because they do not contain enough information or because they do not provide the right kind of information. To give your project the best chance of being considered for publication, please read the guidelines for the type of book you want to submit.


It can take up to 6-9 months for us to consider manuscripts/proposals, with additional time often required if different opinions are requested. Please do not contact us by phone or email for status updates, as all submissions are handled online through your submit account that only our editors have access to. Please refer to the 'status' of your account to be submitted for any changes or updates.


We are not looking for:

Make sure your spelling and grammar are correct! ABN is preferred, although colloquialisms are also acceptable. Avoid literary or archaic language. The level must match the age and perception of the children.

Corporate identity guidelines

As a publisher of Islamic children's books, we have our own house style, which reflects our vision of Islam in (Islamic) pedagogy and upbringing.

Our corporate identity guidelines are helpful to writers, translators, editors, copywriters, and proofreaders as they prepare a manuscript for publication.

The short answer is no, because languages are living things and the rules of grammar and style also change. We will therefore regularly update our corporate identity guidelines and the associated glossary, in particular to transcribe Arabic and other languages used in Muslim-majority countries into Dutch.
