Spiral Moon Circle Publishing

An independent Pagan Publisher

Submissions

SMCP works on a traditional publishing model: Accepted projects are produced by us at our expense, sales managed by us, and royalties paid to our authors based on our contracts with them. While we advertise, we also encourage authors to promote their own work, and will work with you to build a promotional plan.

We accept manuscripts with or without an agent. We would prefer to have rights to print, ebook, and audiobook editions, with potential rights for translations.

We are accepting explicitly Pagan fiction and non-fiction. We are looking for new takes on old subjects, new ideas, and family friendly subjects.

What We Are Looking For

  • Pagan fiction where characters are explicitly Pagan. Magic may or may not be realistic

  • Books for Pagan Children, including fiction, non-fiction, activity books, and picture books

  • Non-fiction that is Pagan, occult, or metaphysical in nature and is well researched, with references

What We Are Not Looking For

  • Paranormal romance, unless it is explicitly Pagan

  • Fantasy, unless it is explicitly Pagan

  • Short story collections

  • Poetry collections

  • Material that promotes racism, sexism, ableism, or other discrimination

  • Material that promotes harm to others

  • New-age books focused on things like law of attraction, love and light, or spiritual bypassing

To Submit Your Manuscript

While submissions are open, we request that you not send completed manuscripts. Please send an introductory email to [email protected] with the following information.

  • Your legal name and pen name

  • Your mailing address

  • Contact info such as email address and/or phone

  • Previous books you've published

  • A synopsis of the project you're interested in submitting, including whether or not it is complete, and word count

  • Genre and target audience

If your introduction looks promising, we will move forward with looking deeper. Until a contract is signed, we reserve the right to decline a manuscript at any time. Contractual requirements will include bringing a manuscript up to appropriate standards for publishing before the book will be published.
