If you have not already submitted a query letter, please do so first. We will not review unsolicited proposal packages. 


When submitting a proposal package, please include the following:

  • Cover letter containing a summary of your work, a projected page count, the intended audience, any marketing ideas, and a list of published works comparable to your book
  •  A table of contents (if appropriate)
  • Your complete manuscript
  • Notify us of any content/trigger warnings. As a teaching press, graduate students often read the slushpile, so please advise us of any graphic content in your work.


We will contact you after our evaluators have completed their review of your proposal package.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
