About the press

Galileo Press is seeking: vivid imagery and the balance of abstract to concrete imagery, the capacity to surprise, an elastic syntax, pace, and music, thematic cohesiveness and the emotional range and maturity, deft handling of highly charged emotion, use of wit, humor, and self-implication, choice and use of extended metaphor, skillfully juxtaposing the micro and the macro, and more. All comers welcome.

Some manuscripts are all Rachel Carson, or else merely great. Some manuscripts are all skateboard, or merely a wild ride. We want Rachel Carson on a skateboard, about 22 seconds before she jakes it. Important update to our guidelines: a strong confident voice is no longer essential. In 46 years there is no genre format we haven’t published. The main thing is not to be too self conscious of your format. Let it sing for itself. The most frequently cited reason for a decline: “too much frame and not enough painting.” We meet half our authors in the lobby and half our authors in the alley out back. Wherever you are, we'll meet you there.
