Non-fiction
We love non-fiction! Whether it’s for teens or adults, we are always on the lookout for strong, innovative ideas that add to a larger conversation.
You do NOT need a completed project to send a non-fiction proposal. Please submit a proposal that includes:
-
A concise overview of your projects, how it adds to the conversation of what’s already been published, and why it’s unique.
-
Your bio/credentials for writing the book.
-
An outline of the book.
-
A sample chapter.
-
How much you’ve written and what your projected timeline is.

Writing and Creativity
In general, we’re mostly interested in topics related to pop culture, geek culture, feminism, and where academia intersects with culture.
We are not currently seeking picture books, short story collections, poetry, screen plays, erotica, memoirs, or religious/inspirational works.
We are currently CLOSED to queries.
We have read and responded to all queries as of February 1 and all fulls through May 15.
We read every query we receive. We are currently doing our best to catch up with the slush pile, and we'll be in touch as soon as we can.
