At Unbound authors pitch their ideas and you choose which books get written.
We welcome all types of proposals: if you’re a novelist, historian, philosopher, economist, biographer, scientist, journalist, comedian, filmmaker, gardener, cook, academic, traveller or have lived an interesting life or done extraordinary things, we’d love to hear from you.
Each proposal has the potential to become the book you really want to write, pitched to the people who really matter: your potential readers.
If you are a published author - or a literary agent - and you’re interested in finding out more about Unbound, you can drop us a line at authors@unbound.co.uk.
If you are a first-time author, we will consider proposals submitted through literary agents or writing websites like www.abctales.com and www.jottify.com, but we will also accept unsolicited proposals sent to authors@unbound.co.uk. These must be in the form of the pitches we have on the site:
- a first person pitch summarising what your book is all about (max. 400 words).
- a short excerpt (approx. 1000 words).
- a first person author biography (max. 300 words).
Please bear in mind that we are currently inundated with proposals - so it may take us a while to get back to you.
