For fiction, we’re drawn to novels with grit, honesty, and emotional truth. We want characters who feel real, whose choices carry consequences, and stories that immerse us in lives beyond our own. We’re particularly interested in fiction that explores the complexities of being human without offering easy answers.

For nonfiction, we’re interested in original ideas and fresh perspectives that deepen our understanding of ourselves, one another, and the world we inhabit. Authors should bring relevant knowledge or experience to their subject and write with clarity, credibility, and authority.

We publish only a small number of titles each year, which means we are highly selective about the manuscripts we take on. When we commit to a book, we give it considerable time, care, and attention — and we look for authors who are equally committed to bringing their work into the world.

Publication is only the beginning of a book’s journey, and authors should be prepared to play an active role in promoting their work. We expect our authors to maintain an online presence and to be willing to engage with readers, participate in interviews or events, and seek opportunities to introduce their book to a wider audience.

Satori Books does not charge authors for editing, design, production, or publication. We do not currently offer advances; our authors receive royalties on every copy sold.

If you’re passionate about your manuscript and feel called to share it with us, we’d love to hear from you. Please read our Submission Guidelines below before sending us your work.
