We’re delighted to announce that we’re open to Inklings submissions from 1st to 31st August.

The Inklings is a series of pocket-sized pop culture books that introduce readers to a wide range of topics they might only have an inkling about! You can see examples on our dedicated Inklings page.

We are looking for compelling narrative non-fiction, with writers able to present topics they are close to or have a special interest in, whether professionally or personally. We are open to anyone who has something fresh and interesting to say or share, and who can write with impact and communicate their perspective clearly. We’re looking for books that marry deeply personal writing with cutting-edge cultural analysis.

We are interested in seeing pitches that address culture and its impact; individual cultural figures from a new perspective; social issues; expressions of identity; and the climate crisis and environmental issues.

We especially encourage submissions from writers of colour; writers who identify as queer; disabled and neurodivergent writers; writers from underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds and those from other marginalised groups.
