DLT books are available from all good Christian bookshops, most high street bookshops, and internet retailers. We are also happy to process a book order for you. Simply contact us on 020 8875 0155, fax us on 020 8875 0133, or e-mail us at tradesales@darton-longman-todd.co.uk, stating the title, author and ISBN of the book you’d like to buy, as well as your contact name, address and telephone number. The book will arrive within two working days with an invoice.

We believe that we are offering a better service for our customers by providing a facility to quickly and easily search our full list of books and authors. We believe that we should support our customers by encouraging readers to buy direct from their local bookshops, as most of those who sell DLT titles are small and independently run, but fully capable of providing the level of service and competitive pricing that customers expect. We also believe that our website enables visitors to easily browse web retailers to find the best available option. Soon we plan to arrange an affiliation link with an on-line retailer, who will provide a high level of customer service for those wishing to buy books directly through our website. Our aim is to help visitors discover as much as possible about the latest available books. We then make it as easy as possible to purchase that book from whatever source is most appropriate to you.

We receive several manuscripts and proposals for consideration each week. We reply to everyone who writes to DLT as quickly as we can, but you might have to wait a few weeks before hearing from us.

Please submit any proposals or finished manuscripts for consideration as hard copy (we are not able to accept manuscripts, proposals, or queries sent by e-mail, or texts sent as CDs) to our Editorial Department at Darton, Longman and Todd, 1 Spencer Court, 140-142 Wandsworth High Street, London SW18 4JJ.

Please see F.A.Q no.8 for our full list of submissions guidelines.

If you wish to have a proposal or a finished manuscript considered for publication by DLT please send the following material as hard copy (we are not able to accept manuscripts, proposals, or queries sent by e-mail, or texts sent as CDs):

1. A brief letter telling us why you have approached DLT in particular as a possible publisher. We also ask that you tell us if you are submitting your material simultaneously to another publisher.
2. A proposal: there’s no perfect blueprint for a successful book proposal but here are some of the elements it should include:
   • Content: 300 or so enticing words telling us what the book is about
   • Target readership: who are you writing for?;
   • A table of contents, with a line or two describing the contents of each chapter
   • A line or two about you, and your qualifications for writing the book
   • A line or two about the possible competition, ie books at a similar level and aimed at a similar readership;
   • The extent and (if the work is not yet completed) the estimated delivery date
3. A sample chapter (not the complete manuscript) – or an example of your work in a similar register to the planned book
4. Don’t forget to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you wish to have the material returned. Please send your submission to:

   Editorial Department
   Darton, Longman and Todd
   1 Spencer Court
   140-142 Wandsworth High Street
   London SW18 4JJ

   We will do our very best to reply to you within four weeks of receiving your proposal. If we ask to see the complete manuscript it could be several weeks before we are able to make a decision on it, especially if we seek an outside reader’s opinion. We regret that the great volume of material we receive simply does not allow us to comment in detail on those manuscripts we are unable to accept.

There are no job vacancies at present.

We encourage those wishing to gain experience of working in publishing to contact us for work experience. This is voluntary and therefore unpaid, but offers a valuable insight into the publishing industry.
