• Transformational psychology
• Translations of classic spiritual poetry
• Biographies and autobiographies of spiritual teachers

Please query with a brief summary of your manuscript along with up to 10 pages of sample text (an introduction or chapter excerpt), plus a brief biographical statement. We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts.

A professionally edited manuscript will receive a more favorable response from us.

If we accept your professionally edited manuscript, Hohm Press will manage the design, printing, and distribution of your book through our extensive national and international networks. Domestically, our national distributor ensures availability in over 8,000 major retail and chain bookstores, along with approximately 2,600 independent booksellers across the U.S. and Canada. We are represented by 25 sales firms that cover all major wholesalers and bookstores, as well as more than 100 eBook platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and iTunes.

Internationally, our foreign rights group connects with over 650 publishers worldwide, maintaining active partnerships to expand your book’s reach into global markets. While we do not engage in direct advertising or promotion, we provide free in-depth book marketing coaching and ongoing consultation. Your active participation is key to developing and executing a marketing strategy tailored to your niche. Simply having your book in stores and online is just the first step—real success comes from strategically driving readers to discover and purchase your book.
