Publishing Demystified

The publishing industry has never been more accessible. That is both good and bad news. With the floodgates open, the role of author, publisher, editor, agent, and publicist have become blurred. And we are inundated with conflicting information and challenges. Yet, more books are being produced and consumed through more platforms than ever before. 

Join industry expert Jared Kuritz, as he offers key insights on the state of the publishing industry,  the publishing process, and Mimbres Press, with a Q&A to follow. He will also be giving instruction on how to submit your work to Mimbres.

As an academic press, we are a traditional publisher. However, in addition to academic works, Mimbres Press welcomes agented and unagented submissions in the following genres: 

• literary fiction
• creative non-fiction
• essays
• memoir
• poetry
• children’s books 
• historical fiction
• academic books

We are particularly interested in academic and commercial work with a strong social message, including but not limited to works of history, reportage, biography, anthropology, culture, human rights, and the natural world. 

Here are a few things that make Mimbres Press unique:

• We welcome agented and unagented submissions.
• We welcome submissions from both new and previously published authors.
• We pride ourselves on a personalized approach, so you will hear back from us promptly.
• We offer above industry standard royalties.
• We are NOT a vanity publisher and publishing with us costs you nothing!

Mimbres Press is named after the Mimbres people, whose culture thrived between 825 and 1450 CE. The Mimbres people lived in the Mimbres Valley in southern New Mexico, although their territories extended to parts of Arizona in the West and the Rio Grande in the Southeast. The culture is now known particularly for its pottery, which was the inspiration for our logo designed by artist Paul Hotvedt.
