Submission Guidelines
At The Calling Tree Press, we believe every book is a seed of connection. We invite submissions that awaken wisdom, wonderment, and aha moments—works that root readers in deeper understanding of each other, God and Man, Heaven and Earth, and themselves.
What We Publish
We welcome:
-
Fiction that connects readers to the people and world around them, and to new understanding
-
Reflective nonfiction (memoir, essays, spirituality, creative nonfiction)
-
Children’s books and intergenerational stories of meaning and imagination

Works of beauty and truth that invite exploration, curiosity, and goodness
We do not publish: horror, erotica, or projects outside our mission.
