Directory submissions for new sites.

Would like a new website submitted to multiple directories under appropriate categories to boost search engine rankings. I would like the search engines to find my site this way, as I have not directly submitted the sites to any search engine. If you have had good success with DMOZ submissions I would like it to be included as well. I have three sites to submit and your bid includes submissions for one site or all three. These include a general home information site, an online business/webmaster information site, and a shakespeare literature site. Links should be in English language directories, where the majority of traffic is US, UK, Canada, Australia, or other developed English speaking countries. Please let me know what your approach would be, and what work your bid would involve. I would like you to help decide appropriate link text and descriptions for the submissions. Thank you.
