- Body/Mind/Spirit
- Health and Healing
- Self-Help
Please be advised that at the moment we are not accepting:
Fiction or Novelized material that does not pertain to body/mind/spirit
Channeled writing
The Submission Process
Submissions may include:

- Brief author biography, including the author’s credentials;
- Synopsis of the work;
- Market analysis, including an overview of the intended audience as well as the competition (i.e., Who has written something similar? How well did they do? How does your book compare?);
- Chapter-by-chapter outline (or an annotated Table of Contents);
- 1-2 sample chapters.
