IVP Non-Fiction Proposal Process

Unfortunately, we are unable to review or respond to any unsolicited proposals, manuscripts, or self-published books. We regret that submissions will not be returned. Submit a book proposal to IVP only if you have had direct contact with one of our editors. You should submit your proposal by email directly to that editor. They will provide you with appropriate submission guidelines and information about the proposal process.

IVP Fiction Proposal Process

We are reviewing submissions for adult fiction works focused on themes of spiritual formation and personal transformation—please do not submit romance, biblical fiction, or historical novels. Please complete the form below and upload a sample—15,000 words—of your book. If we are interested, we will ask you to submit the full manuscript. We are not able to offer contracts for partial manuscripts. Response time is up to ten weeks; we are not available to answer questions by phone or email.
