FAQ: INTERPPRESS
How can I get published through NAI’s InterpPress?
Send a query letter to NAI’s national office. If NAI decides to pursue your project, you will be asked to send sample chapters and an outline that will be sent to a review panel. The review panel will make a recommendation for publication, revision, or rejection. If recommended for publication, staff will make a final determination of the viability of the manuscript based on a market and financial analysis. Authors with successful manuscripts will receive a publishing contract that specifies terms of agreement.

What sorts of manuscripts will InterpPress accept?
Manuscripts must relate to the profession of interpretation or professional development of those in the field. Collections of personal essays, memoirs, and poetry will generally not be accepted unless they originate from recognized historical figures in the field of interpretation.

How long has InterpPress been publishing books and how often does it issue new releases?
InterpPress began operations in 2002 with the publication of the book Personal Interpretation and the Certified Interpretive Guide workbook. Currently, one or two titles are being published each year.

Will InterpPress produce or distribute videos?
Video production and distribution is a new program area for InterpPress that we are currently exploring. If you are interested in talking more about the potential for video production and distribution, please contact Lisa Brochu, associate director, at 888-900-8283.

Do staff members receive any compensation for books sold through NAI?
Staff members are allowed to publish books through InterpPress in accordance with board-approved policy. When staff members write books on their own time and put the manuscripts through the same publishing review process as anybody else, they are allowed to collect royalties according to their publishing contract like any other author. Staff members are not allowed to have input on approval of their manuscripts for publication. Currently, staff members that have published books make donations to the organization each year that equal or exceed royalty payments received. When staff members write books on NAI time as part of their job duties, they receive no additional compensation.
