FYI: Chronicle Books has an open submission for children’s books coming up! May 3–17, 2026.
Adult trade unagented submissions are open now. Chronicle Books publishes a wide range of nonfiction books on their adult trade list, in categories such as cooking, fine art, design, photography, pop culture, fashion, beauty, home décor, personal relationships, and more. We also publish innovative formats, such as interactive journals, decks, games, stationery, and much, much more. Please note: They do not acquire adult fiction.
They often hire freelance writers for book projects, particularly in humor, pop-culture, or other specialized categories, and occasionally for non-book formats with written content, such as decks, guided journals, or other gift products.
Check them out if this is up your alley! And read the first comment for even more open submissions right now.
