We welcome submissions that align with our mission to publish literature that is thoughtful, transformative, and timeless. We are committed to nurturing voices that reflect depth, imagination, and integrity — especially those rooted in or connected to Indian literary traditions.
We publish no more than five titles a year, allowing us to give each book the time, attention, and reverence it deserves — from editing to design, production, and beyond. For us, publishing is not just output, but a relationship.
Please choose the appropriate category for your submission:
Fiction
We are looking for literary fiction that is bold in voice, subtle in insight, and expansive in spirit. Novels, novellas, and short story collections are all welcome.
Literature in Translation
We are deeply committed to making regional Indian literature accessible. Translators may submit unpublished works translated into English, with a brief note about the original text and author.
Poetry
Send us poems or collections that are lyrical, meditative, experimental, or rooted in the sacred. We value a strong sense of craft and an inner urgency that lingers.
Non-Fiction
We invite creative nonfiction, memoirs, essays, and reflective works that engage with culture, philosophy, spirituality, history, or personal narrative in original and meaningful ways.
Children’s Spiritual Literature
We are especially interested in gentle, meaningful writing for children that weaves together wonder, values, and a sense of the divine. Picture books, illustrated poems, and short stories are welcome.
Other/Experimental
We remain open to submissions that may not fit neatly into a category but resonate with our publishing vision. Hybrid forms, spiritual writings, and cross-genre works are encouraged here.
Before Submitting
Please include a brief cover letter, synopsis (where applicable), and a short author bio. Submissions can be emailed to: [your email address] or uploaded through our submission form.
Response time
As a small and intentionally slow press, we aim to respond to submissions within 8 to 12 weeks. If your work is under active consideration, you may hear from us sooner.
We deeply appreciate your patience and trust.
We look forward to reading your work.
Thank you for offering your words to us.
