About Submitting Your Manuscript

punctum books welcomes submissions from academic and para-academic authors working in any field in the humanities, social sciences, fine arts, and architecture & design who want to publish books that are genre-queer and genre-bending and which take experimental risks with the forms and styles of intellectual writing.

Three primary concentrations for us are

(1) books that shift the paradigm in established disciplines;
(2) books that help to create emerging transdisciplinary fields; and
(3) books that play in the fields of creatively speculative thought.

Following the contours sketched out above, we also welcome multi-authored essay volumes that are creatively conceptualized and expertly curated around specific themes, subjects, debates, approaches, and the like. We do not publish poetry or fiction unless aligned with our primary concentrations above.
