Call for Submissions
VEP books explore a variety of themes including (but not limited to) social, spiritual, sexual, and political aspects of people of color, and their contributions to, and experiences in, the world’s community.
Please check this page in the future for calls for submissions to a number of forthcoming anthologies and other works.
Manuscript Submission Guidelines
Though we specialize in non-fiction works by or about queer writers of color, we invite submissions, writers of fiction and children’s book and do not discriminate on the basis of sexuality. We are willing to consider book inquiries and unsolicited manuscripts.
Please note the following before submitting a query:
Inquiry
Submit a query letter detailing your nonfiction idea, the theme(s) of your poetry book, your children’s book idea, or your novel’s plot. Indicate whether you ARE simultaneously SUBMITTING your query to other publishers.
How To Send

Please make sure your SASE has appropriate postage and your name and address in both the sender and receiver sections.
