Become an Aurum Author
Aurum, an imprint of Quarto, publishes narrative non-fiction books for the UK and international market. Authors range from academics and well-established writers to people who are specialists in their particular area but haven't written a book before and people with a fascinating story to tell. Aurum is always on the lookout for fresh talent, in particular for diverse voices and perspectives, and will consider unsolicited book proposals from both published and unpublished authors.

Submission Requirements:

Submissions should be original, topical and suitable for an international market. A typical proposal would include the following:

  •       A synopsis (an outline of the themes and features of the book)
  •       A brief author biography (including qualifications for writing the book)
  •       A table of contents (chapter titles and a line of two about each chapter’s contents)
  •       Sample text (an introduction to the book plus a sample chapter, if available.)

Please send submissions by email to:  aurum@quarto.com

We will acknowledge receipt and respond to all submissions within 6 weeks.

Meanwhile, writers and readers may enjoy Francine Prose's Reading Like A Writer - A Guide for People who Love Books and for Those who Want to Write them.

We much look forward to hearing from you and publishing the next generation of Aurum books.
