The Library recognizes the creative efforts of current county residents by including their works in the collection when possible. These works must meet the Library's selection criteria and standards as detailed in the Selection Policy for Library Materials.
Please send a copy of your finished work and a cover letter introducing yourself to:
Materials Management/ Local Author Submission
Administrative Offices
Prince George's County Memorial Library System
9601 Capital Lane
Largo, Maryland 20774
Please include:
Please allow the selectors two months to consider the work and inform you via mail or email whether it has been accepted for the Library's collection.
For best results, select review sources that target your specific market in terms of genre and intended audience. Market guides such as Writer's Digest and Writer's Market can assist with your research. Be certain to read and follow the specific guidelines for each source before submitting your work. Ask at your library branch's Information Desk for help finding these resources.
Selection librarians consult these review sources when considering purchases. When submitting your work for consideration, please include reviews from at least one of these sources whenever possible.
These publications may help you publicize your work, but they are not considered sources of professional reviews. This is also true of consumer reviews posted on web sites such as amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
