GENRES

WHAT WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT

• Non-fiction – This typically sells better than fiction, provided the author is a savvy marketer.
• Christian-themed books – non-fiction and fiction
• Prepper / survival / homestead topics (these are selling very well right now)
• Adult coloring books
• How-to books
• Fiction that is exceptional
• Adventure non-fiction and fiction

WHAT WE WILL REJECT

• Poetry books – A few poems are fine but an entire book of poetry will be rejected. Poetry rarely sells.
• Collections of short stories.
• Children’s books (young adult novels will be considered, however).
• Color-interior books (refer to our BookLocker.com division for color-interior publishing).
• Erotica, adult content, or any books with sexual content in them (including novels)
• Illegal material – We won’t accept manuscripts that teach people how to perform illegal acts. (i.e. how to steal credit card numbers, teach a dog to fight, etc.)
• Manuscripts portraying child abuse of any kind, whether in fiction or non-fiction.
• Manuscripts that may lead to lawsuits against the author – Memoirs that describe child abuse attract lawsuits. While we know writing these are therapeutic, they carry a heavy legal liability. We will reject any manuscript that we feel may lead to lawsuits against the author. Examples: My Ex is a Jerk, My Uncle Sexually Abused Me, My Boss Discriminated Against Me, John Doe at the CIA Railroaded Me and Now I’m in Prison, etc.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Contrary to what is currently published about Abuzz Press on some websites, we do NOT purchase manuscripts outright.
