We plan on publishing 2-3 works per year and have commitments through 2007.  Avar is an old
fashioned Press, with printed books in a warehouse.  We are not a print on demand company.  Initial
print runs are at least 1000 copies.  

Our editorial policy and the nature of publishing mandate that only solicited manuscripts are reviewed.  
This allows us to provide each work with the attention required.  No manuscripts are currently  being
solicited, accepted, or reviewed.  Any received will be returned to sender, unopened.  

Nevertheless, if you have an original idea in keeping with our stated purpose, you are welcome to send
a detailed paragraph or paragraphs stating your thesis, not to exceed one page.  All inquiries in this
context will be answered.
