Fisher King Press Submission Guidelines
- Fisher King Press publishes and distributes work concerning the study of Jungian theory dealing with depth psychology, myth, archetypal symbolism, and dreams. Occasionally we will consider Literary Fiction in the form of a novel or a non-fiction manuscript with a focus on Spirituality & Religion. However, we avoid anything that is steeped in fundamentalism, regardless of the particular religion or spiritual practice.
- We do not consider proposals with a view to turning them into books, nor do we consider theses, dissertations, essays, individual chapters, or proposals with a view to turning them into books.
- We make decisions only on completed and professionally edited manuscripts. Rarely do we make recommendations as to content. The manuscript should be paginated in one continuous Microsoft word document (i.e., not within chapters), with good quality black and white copies of figures, photos and illustrations, if any. We do not print in color (except for the cover).
- We favor manuscripts between 40–80,000 words in length. References should be included as end-notes or in line in the text [author, title, page (but essay, vol., par. in Jung’s CW)]. The style of the Bibliography should be: author, title, place of publication, publisher, date; or author, title, website, date.
- If the manuscript is accepted, it is the author’s responsibility to secure permission to use substantial material from other copyrighted works (except for “fair use”—see The Chicago Manual of Style for guidelines).
- We contract to pay a royalty of 8% of the retail price on copies sold, with no advance payment.
- If, after reviewing your query, we ask for materials, please note that submissions should include a print-out (double-spaced, one side only, unbound), a digital (Macintosh compatible) Microsoft Word Document copy on CD, and a brief author résumé.
