We only plan to publish 6 non-fiction books per year so we are very picky about the books we choose…

Successful authors will need to be:

• Connected with an existing following/fanbase/subscriber base or established blog
• Rational and Controversial in their treatment of the subject matter
• Resourceful and prepared to “front” their book and back it up with interviews, debates and appearances

Successful books will need to be:

• Original and Rational: With Strong Human Interest
• Aggressively for or Against Something That People Can Get Passionate About
• Controversial, Risky or Genuinely Scary (in a ‘1984′ not ‘Friday The 13th’ kind of way)
• Something No Sane Publisher Would Want To Touch
• Humorous – If Your Book Pokes Fun At Your Intended Target Even Better!

Submission Guidelines

If it’s any good then there’s a very good chance that your book has already been rejected by mainstream publishers afraid of the negative publicity such a risky move could cause. Thats fine but it’s important to realise that sometimes a book is rejected simply because it has no commercial future or because it contains the rantings of an incoherent lunatic. If your book falls into this category then we’ll tell you straight. So, only submit your book for consideration if you can handle rejection like a grown up. Fair enough? Good then let’s continue…

We Will Consider Books On…

• Mind Control, Cult Building & Hynposis: Application & Theory
• Self Defence, Violence & Martial Arts: Debunking Martial Arts Myths & Sharing What Works
• Rationality, Morality & Psychology: Providing A Rational Philosophy for People Who Care
• Myth-Busting: Pseudo-Science, Political Propaganda, Environmental Issues
• Anti Self Help: Debunking New Age BS, Crystal Healing, Laws of Attraction etc.
• Relationships: Training Boyfriends, Training Girlfriends, Becoming A Chick Magnet, Cheating & Getting Away With It etc.

We Do Not Publish…

• Works of Fiction including:
  • Religious Books – All Faiths (Including Jedi)
  • Science Fiction/Fantasy
  • Romance or Erotica
• Financially Unviable Content including:
  • Poetry or Any Other Form of Ego-Fondling Folly
  • Your Life Story: Unless You’re Already Famous/Infamous
  • Personal Attacks/Vendettas: Getting Sued Isn’t Dangerous – It’s Just Stupid!
• Works of Lunacy including:
  • Racially Biased Books

  • Unsubstantiated Conspiracy Theories

Most books of this type will be rejected so please do not submit it. If you’re crazy enough to publish something that even we wouldn’t touch then we recommend you read this blog: www.authorshock.com
