Call for History, Historical Memoir, and Historical Biography Submissions

At Downingfield Press, we believe that history is more than dates and events—it’s the heartbeat of human experience. We are now accepting submissions of non-fiction works that illuminate the past in compelling, insightful, and original ways. If you’re a historian, biographer, or memoirist with a story rooted in history, we want to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

We are currently seeking submissions in the following categories:

History: Scholarly or narrative-driven works that explore significant events, movements, or figures. We welcome both broad overviews and focused studies that offer fresh perspectives or untold stories.

Historical Memoir: Personal narratives that intersect with historical moments. Whether you lived through a pivotal era or inherited a legacy worth sharing, we’re interested in memoirs that connect the personal with the historical.

Historical Biography: In-depth portraits of individuals whose lives shaped—or were shaped by—their times. We’re especially drawn to biographies that bring lesser-known figures into the spotlight or reinterpret well-known lives with new insight.

Why Publish with Downingfield?

At Downingfield Press, we are passionate about publishing works that matter. Our editorial team is dedicated to nurturing authors through every step of the publishing process—from manuscript development to marketing and distribution. We value rigorous research, engaging storytelling, and voices that challenge conventional narratives.

Let’s make history together.
