Calling All Science Writers!
NSTA operates on a rolling six-month period for submissions. We are open to submissions of unsolicited manuscripts from July to December of each year. Our submissions are closed from January to June. Any submissions received during these months should be resubmitted to NSTA Press for consideration during the next submission period.
What to Send
- NSTA Book Proposal form.
- Submit your manuscript as an attachment (Word or PDF). Please don’t paste your story into the body of an email.
- Submit only one manuscript at a time.
- Manuscripts should be double-spaced.
- Illustrations are not necessary.
- Include your name, address, and contact information on your manuscript and in your email.
- You're welcome to share any information about yourself that could help our editors understand how your experiences and perspective connect to your work.
What Not to Send
- We accept only digital submissions for all manuscripts. Please do not mail a submission to us.
- Please note that we do not accept text or art generated by artificial intelligence.
To find out if your book is a good match for us, get to know our program by downloading our catalog.
Given the volume of proposals we receive, we cannot ensure that we will be able to personally respond to each submission unless we are interested in pursuing the project.
