The Publishizer Spring 2025 theme, Art of Presence: Connecting with the Emerging World Around You invites authors to submit book proposals that explore the beauty, challenge, and impact of being truly present in our lives, relationships, and communities. In an age of distraction and disconnection, we are seeking book proposals that encourage mindful awareness, deepen human connection, and celebrate the richness of everyday experience.
We welcome submissions across genres that reflect what it means to live fully in the moment—whether through personal stories, transformative practices, or imaginative narratives that bring the world to life.
Books should center on themes like mindfulness, attention, empathy, nature, embodiment, and emotional intelligence. From introspective memoirs and practical guides to evocative fiction and poetry, these works should help readers cultivate presence and connect more meaningfully with themselves and the world around them.
