Biblioasis: Nonfiction Gold Star Program Gold Star Free

Biblioasis publishes twenty to thirty books, including nonfiction (essay collections, memoirs, biographies, local history, etc.) per year.

There are no firm rules regarding styles and genres that interest us. That said, we rarely consider fantasy, sci-fi, self-help, YA, cookbooks, picture books, or children’s books. We are looking for works of exceptional literary and cultural merit across the board. From established writers, we seek work that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with books by Mark Bourrie, Elaine Dewar, Stephen Marche, Emily Urquhart, or Rinaldo Walcott. From emerging writers, we look for potential within both the work and the author: we’re proud to have published debuts by Kathleen Winter, Alexander MacLeod, Luke Hathaway, Kev Lambert, Alice Petersen, and more.

If you would like to submit your full-length manuscript to us, we ask that you take time to familiarize yourself with the books on our list. It makes a significant difference to know that a prospective author understands and believes in what we do. If you feel strongly that Biblioasis is the right press for you, please send us your work. Please include a cover letter.

Manuscripts must be entirely human-created. We do not accept work that was written, developed, or assisted in any capacity by artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT.
