Submissions
Current submission status and what we look for.
We’re building our inaugural list through direct acquisitions right now. This page will be updated when we open submissions.
We publish fiction and nonfiction across a range of categories. What we care about is whether a book has a clear audience, whether it’s well-executed, and whether we can position it to compete.
Contemporary, historical, literary, upmarket genre. Strong voice, compelling narrative, books people actually finish and recommend.
Self-help, business, health & wellness, personal development, popular science, history, how-to. Clear utility, strong positioning.
