Just got this via email and thought I’d share for those of you interested in this market, which I mentioned in a post earlier this summer:
=======
With the heat index in triple digits in most parts of the U.S., it’s clear we’re in the midst of the dog days of summer. Kids will soon be heading back to school, and before we know it we’ll all be planning holiday schedules.
Before life gets busier, I want to remind you of an upcoming submission deadline and tell you about an exciting new title added to the Ultimate list.
We’ve gotten a great response to The Ultimate Mom but are still accepting submissions through the deadline of August 31, 2008. If you’ve already sent something along – thank you! If not, be aware the deadline is looming.
During Book Expo America, one of the regular visitors to our booth wondered if we had thought of doing an Ultimate book on gardens. Later, when our publisher was reminded of the suggestion it prompted more consideration and as a result we’ve added The Ultimate Garden as a hot new release for April 2009. That means the submission deadline is . . . now! (September 30, 2008).
The Ultimate Garden stories will explore gardens as metaphors for life. Full-color photos will showcase nature’s beauty and bounty, and horticultural and landscape experts will share their knowledge and passion with readers who never tire of cultivating those proverbial green thumbs.
A full synopsis of the book, guidelines for submissions, how and where to send your work, and information on all the titles in development can be found on www.UltimateHCIBooks.com. Online submissions are preferred. It’s the fastest, most efficient route to get your work to the editor working on a title. If, after checking our online guidelines for the information we need included with each submission, you prefer to email your submission, words go to submit@ultimatehcibooks.com and photos get sent to photo@ultphoto.net. Again, please check our guidelines before sending material.
Also, please be sure to add our domain name to your trusted domain list so future emails don’t end up in your spam folder!
Stay well and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Finding your blog is like finding gold in my own back yard. I was looking for helpful writing sites and came across it. So now I’ll be sending an email to Writer’s Digest to for it as the Best Website for Writers! Thanks for all the helpful information.
I’ll pass your link along to others, if you don’t mind.
