Non-Fiction Book Submissions

Strategic Book Marketing is looking to expand our Non-Fiction book titles.

                     

     To view a list of new Non-Fiction book releases, visit StrategicBookClub.com

We believe Non-Fiction has the power to educate and inform. If you have a book that fits one or more of these qualities, then we are interested in learning more:

•  Your book provides instruction or inspiration to a specific age group.
    
• Your book tells a story that would appeal to a specific audience?

• Your book has an instructional message told in a refreshing or exciting way.

• Your book is presented in a fun and imaginative way.

We prefer to work with author's through a literary agent, however, there are exceptions. If you believe in your story and are dedicated to being a motivating factor in promotions and sales, or you have a strong alliance with a specific group that may provide targeted sales, then we are interested in learning more about you and your book.

Please complete the following Non-Fiction Book Information Request, an abbreviated form that helps us quickly determine if there is a possibility of working together.  We will typically respond to this form within one business week with a "yes", "no", or "maybe".

If you are less than 18 years old, please see our Note to Minors at the bottom of the page.

PLEASE NOTE: YOUR WORK MUST BE COMPLETE (OR AT 99%) BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS FORM. If your work is not complete you need an agent, not a publisher.

Note to Minors (authors less than 18 years old): We are proud of what you have accomplished. There are success stories of minors as authors. However, we never sugarcoat the odds for success. The odds are long, long, and long. We also want you to understand a bit more about the industry. Buyers don't care the age of the writer, so, we don't either. This also means that we don't give special treatment to minors. We treat them as adults and we will communicate with them the same way we talk to the attorneys, doctors, and other clients that we have on our roster.A minor cannot sign our contract. A parent or guardian must sign the contract if issued. Please feel free to email us any questions you may have, but for the most part, if you choose to continue with us, we will treat you (or your child) as we would an adult writer.

Thank you in advance for this information. We will get back to you in one week or less. Please whitelist (accept email from)
