For Our Readers

We want to hear from you about our books and about people you know who have great stories to tell. Please send a note to pass on your comments about our books or to give us a lead on a good story that’s waiting to be told. Our books are also available from most independent bookstores and from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

For Potential Authors

If you’re an author who has something important to share and wants to work with a publishing team that values good writing and strong narrative, we’d like to hear from you. We’re hands-on editors who take the time to make our writers’ books the best they can be. We respect the art and craft of writing.

You can read more about our contracts and how we deal with our authors here. If our non-adversarial approach to publishing appeals to you and if you have a tale to tell about living an impossible dream, overcoming an overwhelming challenge, or sharing your hard-earned expertise, please send us a query.

Academic Authors

We’re also interested in academic authors who write about intriguing topics in a style that captures the excitement of their scholarly achievements. Our editor-in-chief is a veteran of academic publishing whose career includes more than a decade as the editorial director for a university press, so we understand the special requirements for academic publication, including peer review. We believe our authors are our partners, and we treat them like friends. We’re especially interested in social sciences and the humanities.
