   Tower Publishing accepts quality manuscripts from highly knowledgeable authors. While we will consider, and occasionally publish, a title outside of our specialty area, our main niche continues to be the legal and reference markets.

  Working with an independent publishing house offers authors advantages not typically found at the larger houses. Tower Publishing provides unique support to its authors, in forms as varied as direct contact with the publisher, extensive editorial assistance and a dedicated marketing staff determined to see your book succeed. As a national legal publisher, Tower is accepting manuscript submissions from new and established legal writers. Tower's legal publications are generally targeted to the legal instead of general audience; however, there are occasional exceptions to this rule, as with our Attorney General's Consumer Law Guide. 

  Few efforts in life can provide the satisfaction and recognition of becoming professionally published. It is a long term association, and to be successful, takes much work from both parties. We would be pleased to consider your writing proposal and provide an honest assessment on the merits of how it might fit with Tower's legacy.

  

  In addition to producing a world class finished product, one of our core strengths remains that of developing and implementing highly effective direct marketing campaigns. To those that understand this business, the finished manuscript is not the end of the effort; it is just the beginning of the start.

Here's what an author has to say about us:

 

   "Bryan Cave has been preparing Charles Hansen and Don Lents' Missouri Corporation Law and Practice since 1989. This text is designed to be the definitive work on Missouri corporation law, as well as providing supplementary material on the corporation laws of other states, notably Delaware. It has become a massive volume, one well over 1,000 pages.

 

   Initially Prentice hall law & Business was the publisher. After Prentice Hall was acquired by a division of Walters Kluwer, it discontinued publishing the book following the 1995 Supplement. The 1997 Supplement was published by Bryan Cave itself.

 

   Bryan Cave then began a relationship with Tower Publishing, which resulted in Tower's publishing the Third Edition of the book in 1999.

 

   Our relationship with Tower has been exceptionally good. Throughout publication of the Third edition and each succeeding edition (the Eighth Edition is the latest), Tower has done an excellent job in quickly editing, printing, and distributing what is a very complicated project. Michael Lyons has been very easy to work with, and he has been aided by an outstanding editor, Mary Anne Hildreth. On the business side, all problems (few in number) have been readily resolved and to everyone's satisfaction.

 

   All in all, I highly recommend Tower Publishing."
