Manuscript Submission

Submit Your Manuscript to Kallisti Publishing

There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen. Other pleasures fail us, or wound us while they charm; but the pen we take up rejoicing, and lay down with satisfaction; for it has the power to advantage not only its lord and master but many others as well, even though they be not born for thousands of years to come … As there is none among earthly delights more noble than literature, so there is none more lasting, none gentler or more faithful; none that accompanies its possessor through the vicissitudes of life at so small a cost of effort or anxiety. ~Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch)

Dear Author,

Congratulations on being a writer, a thinker, a doer! As you may well know, writing is probably one of the most difficult endeavours one can undertake. While the work is difficult and trying, it is potentially one of the most rewarding things you can do — both personally and financially.

Kallisti Publishing Inc. is a traditional publisher with an emphasis on personal development and inspirational books. Please peruse Kallisti Publishing’s catalogue of books to get an idea of what we publish.

Kallisti Publishing’s authors are masters of their field looking to inspire the world. We have enjoyed great success with authors who are

public speakers;
coaches and trainers;
consultants;
entrepreneurs;
thought leaders;
and anyone willing to do what it takes to make a dent in the universe.

There are a few items that we would like to see from you when submitting a manuscript or idea to us.

The manuscript or idea, of course.
A biography sheet. Sort of like a resume, which lists your experience and qualifications.
A cover letter. Introduce yourself and your idea.
A brief marketing analysis. Let us know how you think your book or idea would fare in the market. Against what is it competing? Is there a vacuum that others are missing in the market? Or is there a tail wind that we can capture?

Please use this simple form to submit your manuscript to us.
