An outline of the book.

How much you’ve written and what your projected timeline is.

Environmental Topics
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 open to queries as of January 1, 2026
We have done our best to read and respond to all queries up to this point, and we are starting fresh with inbox zero.
​
If you have submitted a query previously and have not heard back, please resubmit.
​
We look forward to hearing from you!
