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.
