What you can propose
We consider literary and nonfiction proposals: fiction, history and culture, society, economics, science, education, humor, and books for children and young readers. These areas of interest do not imply that we have already published in every field. Quality, clarity of purpose and fit with shbl matter.
What to prepare
- A short description or synopsis, your intended readers and the language of the work.
- A working title, approximate length and the manuscript’s current stage.
- A few sentences about yourself and, optionally, a manuscript or sample as PDF or DOCX.
How we review a proposal
After submitting the form, you receive a reference number. We first read the project outline and consider its fit with our publishing profile. We contact you if we need clarification or further material. Review time depends on the project and the number of proposals; we do not promise a fixed deadline.
Your work remains yours
Copyright remains with you. Submission does not automatically transfer rights, create a publishing contract or guarantee publication. Any potential collaboration is discussed separately. Submit only material that you are entitled to provide for review.
