How to submit a non-fiction book proposal

We are looking to support marginalised and underrepresented voices across the areas of publishing that we work in.

Kindly note we cannot respond to poetry or children's book submissions.

Graham Maw Christie Submission Guidelines

Send your NON FICTION pitch document to : submissions@grahammawchristie.com

  • A one-page summary of the topic

  • A detailed chapter-by-chapter outline

  • Your credentials for writing this book

  • Any online profile and social media

  • An overview of the market and competing titles

  • How you could help promote and sell the book

  • 1-2 sample chapters (or more, depending on the complexity of your project)

  • Your contact details

We prefer to receive proposals and sample text as attachments — and preferably as Word documents. In your covering email please include your ‘elevator pitch’ and let us know if your project is on multiple submission.

​We read all submissions and aim to respond to all submission emails within 30 days. If we advise you that we are unable to represent your work, please do not infer from this that your work is not publishable. It may be that we are just not the right agency for you. One source you might consult is the Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook.

Please note that we are unable to accept and review postal submissions and anything sent as a hard copy will be recycled.

Thank you for your interest in Graham Maw Christie. We look forward to hearing from you.
