Works of Interest to Us
 
Few small publishers can do well without specializing, and we are no exception. We are foremost interested in well written new voices in the Colorado Rocky Mountain Front Range, both fiction and nonfiction. Within those categories, we would be most likely to consider works of the following types:
 
Non-fiction
  • narrative non-fiction, generally
  • quirky/offbeat, generally
  • non-clinical mental health works, such as memoirs of people affected by mental illness or disability
  • politics, social commentary
  • humor
  • gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender
Fiction
  • science fiction
  • fantasy
  • alternate history
  • comedy
  • thrillers
  • with important characters who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender
Works You Should Not Submit
 
We are either not interested in or don't feel qualified to evaluate works involving the following topics or fiction types:
  • erotica (this does not disqualify fiction with erotic or sexual scenes that are part of a larger story)
  • romances (this does not disqualify romances as elements of stories in the genres listed above)
  • westerns
  • mainstream religion
 
Royalties
 
We do not pay advances on royalties. Royalties are based on net dollar receipts.
