For writers
Submit a manuscript.
We publish because a work demands to exist. If yours does, we want to read it. Everything you need to know is on this page, including the things most presses leave out.
What we publish
- Sacred wisdom and practice frameworks (Sacred Balance Library)
- Investigative narrative and heritage literature (The Provenance Files)
- The literature of self-knowledge
- Works built to be returned to, not read once
What we don't
- Trend-driven wellness or self-help content
- Books written to fill a market niche
- Work that relies on AI-generated text as its substance
- Anything we'd have to charge you to publish
How it works
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 · Send a query | Use the form below. Include a one-paragraph pitch, a synopsis, the word count, who the book is for, and a short author bio. Attach nothing yet. |
| 2 · We read it ourselves | Every query is read by the press, not a screener. We reply to every query, including the ones we pass on. |
| 3 · Sample and full manuscript | If it's a fit, we'll ask for sample chapters and then the full manuscript, as .docx or .pdf. |
| 4 · A plain-language offer | If we publish, you get a written agreement that states the rights, formats, territory, term, and royalties in plain language before you sign. |
The basics
No fees
No reading fees, no publishing fees. We're not a vanity press.
No agent needed
We read unagented work directly.
Simultaneous OK
Just tell us if another press makes an offer.
