Submit a science or technology
book.

We are an independent UK publisher reading science and technology books for our founding list. You do not need a literary agent, and you will hear back within 30 days.

No agent required · No author fees · Initial response within 30 days

What we’re looking for

  • Popular science written for a general reader, not for a seminar room
  • Artificial intelligence, computing and cybersecurity: the workings, not the hype
  • Engineering, medicine and space, told through the people and the problems
  • The history of a technology, where it explains something about the present
  • Researchers and practitioners writing their first trade book

What we’re not

  • Highly technical monographs with no route to a general readership
  • Manuscripts needing extensive original fact-checking we could not fund
  • Speculation about the future with no evidence underneath it

Everything else in science & technology, we genuinely want to see it.

Who writes these books: Researchers, engineers, clinicians, technologists and science journalists, often writing a first book, usually while doing the day job.

A covering note, a short synopsis and an opening sample is all we need to start. You keep every right in your work unless and until a publishing agreement is signed. Full guidelines if you’d like the detail first, and our proposal guide if you are starting from scratch.

We aim to respond within 30 days.
