Publish a book

EnvelopeBooks publishes fiction and non-fiction, memoir, history, poetry and children’s books — chosen by editorial judgment, not market category.

We are not a vanity press and we publish far less than we receive. Every submission is given serious attention, and responded to promptly and conscientiously. The success rate for submissions is currently roughly one in twenty.

If you submit a manuscript and we feel it has promise, we will discuss it with you, and tell you if we feel we can take it on. We will also say if it needs more work or is more suited to one of our other imprints.

After discussing and agreeing terms, we will go through a process of detailed editorial assessment, copy-editing, fact-checking, professional typesetting, proofreading, and cover design.
