Experts Unleashed Pitching Challenge – Seeking Non-Fiction Authors with Stories and Expertise to Share
Open Until Friday, July 31, 2026.
Dear expert,
Exisle Publishing is a globally known, traditional self-help publisher. You may have come across titles such as Growing Yourself Up by Dr Jenny Brown, Stop Talking, Start Influencing by Dr Jared Cooney Horvath, or The Happiness Trap by Dr Russ Harris, all proudly created right here at Exisle. Or maybe you read about our books in the news or saw some copies at your local bookstore. Now, we are ramping up our publishing schedule, and we want to hear from YOU.
The ‘Experts Unleashed’ pitching challenge may be for you if:
- You are a recognized expert in your field with a proven ability to communicate your ideas. You don’t have to be a social media star, but even a small following shows that your ideas have resonance in the community.
- Your manuscript is complete or almost complete, written in a simple style, acknowledging that ‘less is more,’ you’ve sacrificed some anecdotes and background to drill into the essence of what you want to communicate.
- Your audience is well defined, specific, and reachable. They need your book and have been patiently waiting for it, perhaps for years, as nothing else gives them what you have written. So let’s not keep them waiting.
Standard entry is free and open until July 31, 2026. Selected authors will hear back from a member of the publishing team by September. Those who upgrade to an ‘Assessed’ option will receive feedback within 21 days of submission. Successful authors will be considered for publishing contracts for our 2028 publishing schedule.
