Baobab Press seeks books that communicate and support their themes through new and well-articulated means. We like risk. We like invention. More importantly, we look for a quality of thought that adds depth to a writer's concerns. And although it is not an official requirement, we tend to select literary work with a strong sense of place at its core. Ultimately, our goal is to publish work that resonates in the  contemporary climate and that will continue to resonate in years to  come. 


 If you have a 125-400 page non-fiction manuscript ( collection of essays, memoir, hybrid, etc.) we'd love to take a look. 


Please let us know if any part of the manuscript has been published in a previous format. Essays previously collected and published by the author or a publisher as a book, (chapbooks excluded), will not be considered for publication. Simultaneous submissions are welcome as long as authors  inform us immediately upon acceptance elsewhere, but please DO NOT submit more than one manuscript at a time. Wait until you have received a response before you submit again.


We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
