Do you have an idea for a book?

Branch Line Press is seeking to publish unique guides and readable reference books on many aspects of New England history, culture, and natural history. While transportation history continues to interest us, for our new Heritage of New England series we will consider manuscripts on topics as diverse as architecture, the ethnic groups of the region, New England coastal and seafaring history, the White Mountains and industries there, our colleges and universities, New England landmarks, and famous people who have lived here. Compendiums or guides to virtually any historical topic will be considered.

For our New England Transportation series we are seeking manuscripts on traction, streetcars, and related services such as the amusement parks at the ends of the lines, as well as on railroads, rivers, and canals. A new series is also planned on New England Natural History for which we will consider manuscripts on geographic features and history, wildlife in New England, and on places to bird, hike, and otherwise explore the nature and natural history of this region.

Branch Line Press is NOT interested in biographies, genealogies, fiction, poetry, personal memoirs, travel guides, species identification guides, or topics of limited interest such as histories of a single town or organization.

We pay competitive royalties and in some cases advances. If you are interested in submitting a proposal to Branch Line Press, please first request our Guide for Authors by entering your name and address below.
