Author Submission Guidelines

For prospective Oracle Press authors

Starting in 2010, Oracle Press began to offer a range of original works in genres including spirituality, personal growth, social evolution, mysticism, the arts, and children’s fiction. Oracle Press is and will remain a small publishing house that produces books of world-class quality and enduring appeal that will last as a permanent record of this current age of transition. The following are the categories of literature that we will review for publication:

• Non-fiction works on contemporary spirituality and the evolution of consciousness that are rooted in proven esoteric paths that lead to enlightenment and/or scientific breakthroughs that mate with mysticism.
• Non-fiction and contemporary fiction dealing with themes important to the Oracle Institute, including: sacred activism; gender equality; social and economic justice; nonviolence and peacemaking, and environmentalism.
• Speculative fiction about utopias/dystopias, scientific theories regarding the nature of the universe, and the social impact of new technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence.

Each work will be an affordable hardcover or paperback between 150 and 400 pages in length.

Submission Instructions

Please allow 90 days for review

Manuscripts should be sent in digital and hard copy format, following the guidelines found in How to Write a Book Proposal by Michael Larsen (or similar manual). PLEASE DO NOT SEND COMPLETE MANUSCRIPTS UNLESS REQUESTED.

Prospective authors should send their proposals only if they are strongly committed to actively publicizing their books, as this industry has become extraordinarily competitive. Oracle Press will publish only those books which: (i) have the potential to sell 10,000 or more copies within two years of publication; (ii) will stand out as unique in trade bookstores and online outlets; and (iii) are likely to succeed in academic, library, and/or international markets.

Authors will be notified by email of Oracle's decision on their proposals within 90 days. If complete manuscripts are requested, up to an additional 60 days may be required for a final decision on publication. Submitted materials cannot be returned.

Authors selected for publication will retain the copyright on their works, receive the benefit of professional editing, and be guided through the marketing aspects of the book publishing industry. Oracle Press will have a strong and ongoing commitment to the commercial success of each work published under its imprint.
