We welcome ideas for new books in all the areas in which we publish.

We now use an online submissions portal for all book proposal submissions, which can be found by clicking the below ‘Click here to Submit’ button.

Please note that Submittable is a third party organisation and is not managed by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. You can find Submittable’s Terms & Conditions here: https://www.submittable.com/terms

Due to our organization's hybrid work model and multiple office locations, we do not accept postal submissions. Any material sent to an office will not be returned and we cannot guarantee a reply.

Where there is existing printed material that you wish us to consider (for example, a self-published book), please complete our proposal form first to tell us about your work. If interested, we will then ask for additional material after having reviewed the proposal.

If, for access reasons (for example, health or disability), you find it difficult to use our online proposal form, please email proposals@jkp.com with ‘Accessibility’ in the subject line and we can provide the proposal questions in a different format.

Your proposal will be carefully read by our editorial team. The editorial process can take some time, and it may take up to eight weeks before we are able to let you know whether or not we are interested in taking your proposal forward.

For a list of commissioning editors and the areas in which they publish, see the People page.

If you have any questions or concerns about the proposal submission process please proposals@jkp.com.
