At Chalice Press, we are always looking for exceptional new people and content for publication. If you have an idea or a
manuscript for us to consider, please begin by sending a letter of inquiry to us at submissions@chalicepress.com. Please send
nothing else, yet, as we do not accept unsolicited manuscripts and project proposals.
|
Letter of Inquiry
The letter of inquiry should be no more than two pages, focusing on a single proposal. You may use any approach you think best conveys your ideas, but you
must tell us important information about yourself, a summary of your idea, the audience you intend to reach, and how they will
benefit by using your material. Do not send manuscripts, photos, video clips, resumes/CVs or other materials at this time.
Send such items only if we ask you to do so. (We will not return nor file any materials you send to us without our written
request.) For electronic submissions — our preferred method — we will contact you within 30 days about our interest in having you develop a full proposal. For paper submissions, please allow 60 days.

About Chalice Press
Chalice Press publishes resources that invite individuals and groups into deeper relationship with God, equip them as
disciples of Jesus Christ, and send them into ministries as the Holy Spirit calls them. Our theological tradition is
evangelistic (we share with others our experience of God), inclusive (we are guests at a table where everyone is welcome)
and mission-oriented (our gratitude to God compels us to serve and exchange our stories with others).
|
What We Publish
At this time, we are particularly interested in publishing content by and for women, young adults (age 18 to 35), and
racial/ethnic cultures for our academic, congregational leadership, and general audiences. We offer print, digital, and
multi-media formats. Topics of particular interest include: non-fiction in the areas of Academics (Homiletics, Biblical Studies, Theology, Christian
Education); Congregational Leadership (Preaching, Evangelism, Hospitality, Leadership Development, Discipleship/Equipping
Ministries); General (Faith and Life, Inspiration/Devotion, Bible Study/Application, Mission/Evangelism).
|
What to Avoid
Although Chalice Press publishes a broad range of material, you should usually avoid asking us to consider publishing poetry, fiction,
dissertations, children's books, cookbooks, festschrifts (essays in honor of someone), collections of sermons, newsletter columns, etc. For these, you may wish to consider our Lucas Park Books imprint
(www.lucasparkbooks.com).

Unsolicited Materials
Although we honor your work and value your materials, please understand that we cannot be responsible for anything you send
to us without our written request, or for any original or irreplaceable materials under any circumstances. We will not return
nor keep any materials we have not requested in writing. Paper submissions will be recycled unshredded.
