Cordis House does not currently accept unsolicited manuscript submissions. Our list is built editorially through invitation and long-form conversation with authors whose work we are already in dialogue with. Ron Smith and the editorial office shape each season slowly, one book at a time, and we would rather publish a short list well than open a wide door we cannot answer. To inquire about an in-development project, write to us through Work with us. If a manuscript is right for the house, the conversation usually starts long before a finished draft exists.
