Our list is full through 2025. We are closed to unagented submissions until further notice (excludes current TPP authors and Christmas-themed submissions).

TouchPoint Press publishes titles across multiple genres and sub-genres. Our focus is not so much on a specific genre or sub-genre but on acquiring manuscripts that are exceptionally well-written, fast-paced, and engaging.

Please note: At this time, TouchPoint Press is only accepting manuscripts from the U.S., with the exception of manuscripts for a Love Abroad romance series.

TouchPoint Press has an open call for book submissions from authors whose voices have historically been underrepresented in publishing. Authors will NOT be required to disclose anything they are uncomfortable with. #OwnVoices projects are not required, though they are certainly welcome!

TouchPoint Press welcomes and encourages manuscripts from marginalized creators at all times. 

General Guidelines

Do not send full manuscripts unless requested.

Do not send unsolicited attachments, they will not be opened or acknowledged.

Do not call to inquire about your submission.

We reply to all submissions, but please understand we receive hundreds of submissions. You are welcome to follow up after 8 weeks. If you receive/accept another offer, please extend the courtesy of letting us know. 

If we request your full manuscript, please take the time to be certain the version you submit is the final draft. We will not review an updated version unless specifically requested.
