Impetus Press welcomes unsolicited submissions, but please keep in mind the following requirements and guidelines. Submissions that do not take these points into account will be read and addressed after those that do.
1) Impetus Press publishes serious works of literary fiction with a pop or urban sensibility. We publish no genre fiction. Please refer to our backlist to get a sense of what this means and the kinds of titles we're interested in. If you don't feel like your work would be a good fit on our list, chances are, we'll feel the same way.
2) Please do not send an entire manuscript unless asked to do so. Your initial query should consist of a synopsis of your work, some information about you and any previous publications, if applicable. If we get a sense from your query letter that your manuscript is something that we would be interested in, we'll ask to see more. |  | 3) Impetus is just beginning to publish works of literary non-fiction/memoir. Thematically, we're interested in books that address similar topics and issues as our fiction titles. Book proposals are fine. Also, it should be noted that we are only publishing 1-2 non-fiction/memoir titles per year.
Query letters may be sent to:
submissions [at] impetuspress.com.
Please allow 4 to 8 weeks for a response. |
