Publishers of "Little Book of"-type books

Hi --

I would like to pitch a proposal to a publisher of those small (size-wise) books that are usually displayed near book-store cash registers -- tightly-focused little books that are great for gift-giving and/or impulse-buying.

Does anybody know which of those publishers are particularly open to outside proposals?

Does anybody have any experience writing/pitching those types of books?

Any/all advice appreciated.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here ...

Thanks for the info.

I'll check out Ten Speed Press, then -- unless anybody has had a bad experience with them -- speak now or forever hold your peace!

(only kidding -- speak up whenever you can)

I sent an email query to AMI Mini Mags. I got a response back from the managing editor saying, "Thanks for your proposal regarding Mini Mags. At this time, our schedule is predetermined for the entirety of our fiscal year and we will not be considering new topics until next April. I will keep your idea on file for the next time we are putting together a slate of new titles."

Thank you for the update -- and good luck with your proposal --

Anybody know how to contact Warner Books?

I saw a book on Amazon.com by Warner Books that suggests to me that this publishing company might be interested in my proposal, but I couldn't find any info on their website about submissions. I know that it's part of Little, Brown & Co -- or is it the other way around?

duh!

Gosh, I can't believe I've become so habituated to the Internet that I've forgotten about the library!

Shame on me!
