My Manuscript Wish List®
Note: I am not accepting new submissions at this time!
I’m looking for uplifting adult nonfiction that helps us live in better relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
My top priority is acquiring highly engaging personal growth/self-improvement from established thought leaders, professionals, and influencers in evergreen topics like parenting, productivity/planning, personal growth, health & wellness, and positive psychology. I’m also interested in narrative nonfiction with an investigative edge that sheds new light on a piece of history, society, or the natural world; and breathtaking memoirs of personal resilience, empowerment, and connection.
Please do not send me children’s books, illustrated/gift/coffee table books, fiction, or poetry.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be emailed to ariel.curry@sourcebooks.com
Please email a completed proposal with 2-3 sample chapters (including the Introduction/Prologue) attached as a Word document.
