WHAT BOOKS PRESS
With its genre-bending list of bilingual poetry, eco-fabulist science fiction, magic journalism, hybrid collaboration, and graphic narrative, WPB was founded in 2008 to assert the imperative for serious writing that reflects the diversity of literary and political cultures emerging from Los Angeles, a center for art in the globalized world, We came together with a single purpose: to create an outlet for groundbreaking fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, with extraordinary art by renowned multi-media artist Gronk on every cover. And we’re still doing it, bringing out exciting new work every year that we believe truly needs to be in this world. We remain committed to—and are always looking for—new, innovative, and underrepresented writing that challenges both formal boundaries and the pressing social and political issues of our time.

What Book Press is actively seeking full-length works of prose in any genre--fiction, nonfiction, hybrid. In keeping with our eclectic collection of titles from our inception in 2008, we are looking for work that thrills us with a bending of literary expectation, or a striking use of language, or a poignant portrayal of the human condition--or (why not?), all three.
Please submit a query letter telling us a little bit about yourself, your submission, and your interest in WBP. For your submission, please also submit a 10-20 page sample of your book. Works submitted in their entirety at this stage in the process will be returned unread. Should we find your work of interest, we will invite you submit the rest of the manuscript.
Submit your queries and sample pages here.
Deadline: April 15, 2025
