Submit your Book

We are exceptionally keen to develop our range of books in all areas of music non-fiction, be it academic/educational, opinion pieces, biographical, irreverent or journalistic.

If you are interested in writing a book, you don't need to write the whole thing first. We don't even need a chapter; you can approach us with an idea alone and we will put in serious consideration to make an offer to publish. In this respect, we can also help you along the writing process, offering advice and guidance where necessary.

Please see the FAQ below to help you get started:

• Do you offer an advance?
  Generally, no. In exceptional circumstances, we may offer a small advance. If you require advance, please detail this in your submission.


• How long does it take to receive a decision?
  We aim to let you know within 1-2 days.
  
  
• I've not written a book but really want to write one and don't know where to start. Can I still submit?
  Yes! We appreciate that you may not be a seasoned author, but we also appreciate you may have a great idea and a great way to tell it. Even if you don't think you could sit and write a book, you might be surprised what you can achieve with the right guidance and support.


• My book is published elsewhere, can I still submit it?
  Generally, if your book is published by another publisher, we would not be able to pursue it any further unless there was cause to act lawfully in obtaining the rights on your behalf, such as lack of (or an expired) contract, or an out of print status, etc.

• How do I submit?
  Easy! Just signup for an account, and upload a sample chapter (or submit a book proposal) in your account dashboard, and we'll take care of the rest. Please note, we are no longer accepting submissions by email. This allows us to keep the submission process efficient and timely. Even if you have submitted to us before, you must still use the uploading system on our site.
