Submissions

Non-Fiction submissions for Engen Books are currently closed. The open period will be February 28 - April 30 2025.

​

When submitting a non-fiction work for consideration, it is not essential that the work be completed. Instead, we will consider a non-fiction work based on a book proposal. 

 

The book proposal should consist of the following:

 

• 1-page query letter introducing the author and the project. Please include the following publishing details: the proposed word count, special considerations (i.e photos or illustrations), and length of time estimated to complete. 

 

• 1-2 page synopsis and a 1-page rationale outlining why you feel this book is essential. A 1-2 page chapter-by-chapter OR working outline may also be included but is optional.

 

• 1-2 page author CV including your writing credentials, background experience or field of study (or some combination therein), including any reasons you are particularly qualified to tell this story.

 

• A sample chapter. This can be any chapter in the book aside from the introduction. It's purpose is to give a feel for writing style as well as overall tone of the book.

 

As part of its mandate, Engen Non-fiction is committed to sharing diverse narratives as well as shining a light on unique and unexplored stories from the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
