- How do I submit a manuscript?
Thank you for your interest in publishing with us! Hendrickson Publishers is committed to the publication of outstanding books for Christians, the church, and the academy, and we are honored by the many writers who approach us with their book ideas. At this time, however, we cannot accept unsolicited manuscripts or book proposals except through one of the two following avenues:
- Materials sent to our editorial staff through a professional literary agent will be considered.
- Our staff would be happy to discuss book ideas at the various conferences we attend throughout the year.
Please do not submit manuscripts, including electronic files, for consideration as we will not be able to review or return them. Thank you for respecting our policy.
- Where can I find an out‑of‑print book
Hendrickson Publishers does not keep out‑of‑print books. Once a book reaches out‑of‑print status, it is removed from our database and the books are donated to charities, mission groups, etc. A good resource to help you find an out‑of‑print book is www.bibliofind.com.

Donations

Here are some other source suggestions that may be able to help:
- Your local bookstore will often give you a discount on certain products when used for a specific ministry effort.

- Send no more than 2 books per box/carton. Larger quantities are almost always refused.

You can order any of the products you find online by phone, mail, or fax. We will be happy to process your order just as quickly as we'd process an online order.
- What if I have an out-of-stock item in my order?
You can always see if an item is in stock on our product detail pages, in the availability section, listed below the item's price. For an item that has yet to be released or is not in stock, we will show an estimated date that the item will be back in stock. If you chose to order an item that is not currently in stock, we will ship all the items in your order that are available immediately and we will ship the backordered items as soon as they become available. Your credit card will not be charged for your backordered items until they leave our warehouse. We will not charge extra if parts of your order ship separately. In addition, if you decide that you do not want an item before it is shipped, you can cancel your order without being charged.
Please note: If UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS Next Day Air, or Priority Mail Shipping was chosen on the original order, we reserve the right to ship backordered items by a downgraded shipping method.

If you are logged into your account when you add an item to your cart, we will keep those items in your shopping cart for future browsing every time you are logged into your account.
In addition, if "cookies" are enabled in the browser that you are accessing the site from, our servers will keep track of those items for up to six months or until you remove them from your cart, whether you are logged in or not.
- Can I edit or cancel my order?
It may be possible to cancel an order immediately after it is placed. However, because we always try to process orders and ship them to you as quickly as possible it may not be possible to cancel your order.
Please contact Customer Service department regarding any issues with your order. You may contact us at csresponse@tyndale.com or by calling direct (855) 277‑9400 from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Central), Monday thru Friday.
If your order cannot be changed or canceled in time, you can always choose to return an item after receiving it.
- Are prices guaranteed?
It's not uncommon for people to see a price on our site and say, "That's way too low. It can't possibly be correct!" 99.9% of the time they're looking at an example of one of our many rock bottom, hard-to-believe prices--sometimes as much as 90% off retail! However, it has happened that we have displayed a price that is incorrect. In these rare instances, we must reserve the right to not honor these mistakes as they are the computer equivalent of typographical errors. In the vast majority of cases, prices seen on our site are correct and trustworthy.

All prices are charged in U.S. dollars.
