Call for Submissions: Persea Books

Submission Guidelines

Fiction & Nonfiction Submissions

We are pleased to receive query letters via email from authors and literary agents. We no longer accept physical query letters or submissions.

We publish literary fiction, creative nonfiction, memoir, essays, biography, literary criticism, books on contemporary issues (multicultural, feminist, LGBTQI+), Young Adult novels, and literary and multicultural anthologies that are assigned in secondary and university classrooms.

Most of all, we are looking for the fresh voice, a clear point of view, the well-written work that will endure. We are pleased to publish debut books and to continue publishing the authors we take on.

We do not publish genre fiction (romance, fantasy, science fiction, thrillers), self-help, textbooks, or children's books.

Poetry Submissions

We have a longstanding commitment to publishing extraordinary contemporary poetry. Due to our commitment to the poets we already publish, we are limited in our ability to add new collections. If you would like to query our poetry department, click here to send an email describing your current project and your publication history, and attaching a PDF or Word document with up to twelve sample pages of your poetry. If we are interested in seeing more work, we will contact you.
