Overview | Table of Contents | Letter from the Editor | Call for Entries

It's a year away, but we're already scouting for next year's issue of Kitchens & Baths. We're interested in brand-new or remodeled projects of every style from all over the country. And we're not looking for just big, expensive kitchens and baths (well-designed projects that are done on a tight budget are dear to our hearts). But big or small, expensive or thrifty, they must be well thought out and beautifully crafted.

Don't worry about professional photos. Right now, we just need decent printed color photographs and a brief cover letter explaining which aspects of your project might prove interesting to our readers.

Entries deadline: February 16, 2007

Please send your projects along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to:

Kitchens & Baths
Fine Homebuilding,
63 S. Main St., PO Box 5506,
Newtown, CT 06470-5506

Advice on How to Submit

We get a lot of submissions for our Kitchens & Baths issue, and we study every one of them. But some submissions are much easier to evaluate than others, and thereby gain an edge. Here's what you can do to ensure that your entry gets the most editor eyeball time. If you're sending multiple projects, do this for each one.

  1. Put the materials in an 8-1/2-in. x 11-in. folder.
  2. Include a typed cover letter that describes the project, and what our readers can learn from it that they can apply to their own situations.
  3. Send a simple floor plan of the project, and label the parts that are most important to the story.
  4. Make photos as large as possible. One big photo per page is best, and no more than two or three per page.
  5. If you're submitting a remodel project and you've got "before" photos, include copies of them as well.
  6. Please don't send photos by email. They quickly clog the system.
  7. If the project contains a particular material, structural or design detail that you think might be right for one of our Feedback features, please note them in your submission.

Following these guidelines doesn't guarantee getting into the next issue of Kitchens & Baths, but it will improve the odds. Thanks for taking the time to read this and for considering Fine Homebuilding as a worthy forum for presenting your work.
