Authors
Have you lived a life less ordinary? Do you know a place off the beaten path? We all have a story to share.
Unsung Voices Books welcomes manuscripts from authors writing about diverse experiences.
Note that our publishing program centers around two kinds of nonfiction: 1) Perspectives from writers from marginalized and underrepresented groups and ways of life; and 2) stories that enrich our understanding of the places that make up our world.
If your book meets those criteria, please send us your proposal. Be sure to include details about your book’s format and target market.

Collaboration
Unsung Voices Books works with both new and experienced nonfiction authors. If you believe your book provides a perspective from an historically underrepresented group and/or will enrich your readers’ understanding of people and places that make up our world, then our team wants to collaborate with you. Send us your nonfiction book proposal using the button above. Please be sure to include:
1. Book title, along with a few paragraphs describing your book
2. Length (close approximation is fine)
3. Target market -- who in particular will want to read your book?
We are happy to explain the publishing process, particularly so newer authors better understand the steps involved. Unsung Voices Books is a full-service publisher. As such, we provide copyediting, composition/typesetting, marketing, printing, and distribution. We are happy to answer any questions for our authors about or during the process. Note that we do not require any payment from our authors -- we make money from book sales, not our authors.
