Publishing your books with Lotus Publishing

We are always looking out for interesting ideas within our publishing specialism of; anatomy, bodywork, health, sport and fitness books, so if you would like to become a potential Lotus Publishing author, in the first instance please either post or e-mail a synopsis of your proposed book, including; contents, summary, market, competition, and length (number of words). Our editorial committee will assess the proposed book, and inform you of our decision, giving feedback where appropriate.

Remember that we publish very few books each year, so please research the market for your book idea before approaching us. You can do this by looking on Amazon to see what else is available on the subject you wish to write about. If there is plenty of competition, we probably will not be interested; however if you think you’ve found a unique idea or concept where there appears to be little competition but a large potential market, then we probably will be interested. The power of the Internet means we can publish authors from around the world: for example, we have never met Brad Walker (he is based in Australia) but that doesn’t mean we don’t communicate regularly!
