Hippocampus Magazine is pleased to announce the launch of its books division. (We made our official announcement live at HippoCamp 2016; watch it here.)
Like our magazine, our focus is on creative nonfiction. We’re enthusiastically looking for compelling work in the following categories:
- Memoirs
- Essay collections
- Literary journalism
- Travel writing
- Craft books
- Creativity books
If you have something you think fits, you may query or submit your proposal here.
In the fall of 2016/early winter 2017, we’ll unveil a website dedicated to the press. Between now and then, this page will serve as the info hub for our book division!
Our first title is something special. Here are the details:
COMING IN WINTER 2017
[pre-ordering begins Nov. 1*]
Selected Memories: Five Years of Hippocampus Magazine is a celebration of where we’ve been and a testament to the power of telling true stories. Since we launched our journal in 2010, we’ve published more than 600 pieces of creative nonfiction from more than 500 emerging and established writers. We’re proud of our contributors, and we admire their bravery for sharing pieces of themselves. This collection is a representation of our first five years. It’s filled with more than two dozen stories that moved us, made us laugh, made us cry, made us want to read them again. (pre-order it here and save $2.)
More contributor information and full books division/ecommerce site coming in January (update: it’s live.).
