Questions?
Want to share an idea or discuss a collaboration?

At BLOOM, we appreciate all of the time and effort it takes to develop a book proposal. While we promise to review all submitted proposals, we encourage you first to follow the inquiry process outlined below. This allows us to provide feedback about our level of interest in receiving your fully-developed proposal.

SUBMITTING AN IDEA

BLOOM is interested in new, engaging, and creative themes. We actively scout for floral lifestyle personalities, creatives, entrepreneurs, artisans, and makers with beautiful stories to tell. 

 

• What do we need?  A digital submission describing the proposed project and one or two paragraphs as to why you believe your topic would be interesting to BLOOM Imprint readers. Also, please include a few images that illustrate your idea or concept. Please send as a PDF attachment via email to: bloom@bloomimprint.com.

• When will you hear from us? All submissions are reviewed within four weeks — and if our schedule is tight, we promise to notify you. Promise.

• Other Considerations. We place a priority on submissions from active members of Slow Flowers Society. Read more about the benefits of membership here.
