We help authors prepare and pursue submissions to university presses and select traditional publishers. Whether your manuscript is scholarly nonfiction, literary fiction, memoir, or another category suited to academic and traditional publishing, we bring structure and industry knowledge to a process that's often opaque and difficult to navigate alone.

Our work moves through three stages. We start with a Fit Assessment — evaluating your manuscript against the acquisition priorities of specific presses to identify where it genuinely belongs. From there, we build your Submission Package — cover letters, proposals, sample materials, and positioning tailored to each press's expectations. For authors who want ongoing support, our Full Submission Management service handles the outreach, tracking, and follow-up across your full list of target presses.

Throughout, we also advise on related administrative matters — ISBN registration, copyright basics, and submission formatting requirements — so nothing procedural slows down your work.

Publication decisions are made solely by publishers and their editorial boards, and we do not control or guarantee those outcomes. What we do guarantee is a submission process built on research, professionalism, and honest communication with you at every step — no false promises, no exaggerated claims about connections or guaranteed placement.
