Canadian Family - a lifestyle magazine about all aspects of
contemporary Canadian family life,
published for parents of children 2 to 12 years of age.
"Family life has changed: women are having children later, after they
are established in work and life. Today's mom no longer expects children
to define her or her lifestyle. She's not looking for perfection: she's
trying to carve out an approach to parenting that respects moms' and
dads'
needs, as well as the kids."
The editorial includes tools, tips and tricks that make it possible to
squeeze more enjoyment into an ever-busier life; the latest on
parenting, family time, health, food and family style; must-have
products and services; family-tested recipes and practical parenting
solutions.
Regular departments:
Family smarts: Parenting tips for every age and stage from newborn to
teen, from experts and Canadian moms and dads, strategies to boost your
child's education, from preschool to high school, inspirational stories
that remind us how important family is, and tips on bridging parental
conflicts and rekindling romance.
Family style: Parent-tested reviews of new products, from strollers to
computer games, playground - to - party beauty and fashion ideas for
moms, family-friendly decor, and easy party ideas.
Family time: Seasonal crafts, fun and together-time ideas, family-tested
reviews of DVDs, books, games, toys, music, movies and TV shows, family
friendly travel ideas for families both close to home and far away.
Family health: The latest research on improving kids' and parents'
well-being, including seasonal tips and first aid, nutritious,
kid-friendly products to put in your grocery cart and fitness ideas for
the whole family.
Family food: Fast and delicious family-tested recipes, nutritious snack
ideas and new products little ones (and not-so-little ones) will
actually eat, and cooking with kids' recipes.

Hannibal Books is a
Christian publishing company specializing in books and other written
materials for helping families and individuals develop healthy patterns
and skills in order to become all God created them to be.
Hannibal Books offer...
* Dramatic missions stories that motivate and move
* Books that equip and inspire families toward spiritual health
* Christian commentary on critical issues in our world
* Cutting-edge, small group curriculum
As a book-publishing company that specializes in Evangelical Christian
books, HB welcomes receiving new and proposed manuscripts. However, they
ask prospective authors to study their writer guidelines carefully
before making a submission. Do not query. Instead, answer carefully the
questions posed in their writer guidelines.
HB specializes in these four categories of Christian books: Missions,
Family, Small-group Curriculum, and Critical Issues. Proposed books must
be able to fit into one of these categories, so study carefully whether
your book fits. You can best do this by studying books available in
their online bookstore.
Book-publishing houses that specialize in Christian books annually
produce about 10,000 new titles. To arrive at this number, more than
100,000 manuscripts and book proposals are submitted annually. Of the
10,000 titles that are published, about 500 ever become what is called a
"Top" or "Best" Seller. Competition is plentiful in the market. Be sure
and delineate carefully what separates your book from all the others.
Attributes of an Effective Hannibal Books Author:
* Has an emerging or successful ministry or speaking profession.
* Has a gift for writing or is willing to partner with someone who does.
* Has a "life message" that he or she wishes to communicate and for
which a market exists.
* Has an Evangelical Christian perspective.
* Professes to be a born-again believer.
* Is committed to helping sell his or her books through a variety of
venues, including his or her own personal ministry or speaking
engagements.
* Is interested in seeing his or her books distributed to the nation's
leading Christian bookstores and is willing to participate in the
marketing and promotion necessary to make this happen.
