A Selective PathTo Publication

Sitting in Traffic Publishing Co. publishes select projects under its own imprint. This is not a package anyone simply buys. It is a publishing relationship for books we believe in and projects where we think we can add meaningful value.

What It Means

Published Under the Sitting in TrafficImprint

When Sitting in Traffic acts as the publisher, the relationship goes beyond file preparation or platform setup. We become more directly involved in how the book is developed, produced, positioned, and released.

Closer Collaboration

We work with the author on the project as a whole, from editorial direction and design through production and publication.

A Selective Imprint

We want the Sitting in Traffic name to stand for a clear standard. That means not every project will be the right fit.

What We Look For

Projects We Can Stand Behind

We are interested in books with a strong idea, a clear audience, and the potential to become a polished, distinctive finished product.

Concept

A clear idea with enough substance to justify the book.

Quality

A manuscript or project with real potential, even if it still needs work.

Audience

A believable reader or market for the finished book.

Fit

A project that makes sense alongside the work we want the imprint to represent.

How It Works

Start With the Project

You do not need a finished, perfectly packaged proposal to start the conversation. We first want to understand the book and where it stands.

01

Tell Us About It

Send the basic concept, current status, and what you think makes the project worth publishing.

02

We Review the Fit

We look at the idea, audience, material, and whether the project aligns with the imprint.

03

We Discuss the Path

If there is a fit, we talk through the publishing relationship, responsibilities, and next steps.

What to Send

Enough to Understand the Book

A first inquiry should be simple. We are looking for enough information to understand the project, not a polished corporate presentation.

  • Working title
  • Short description of the book
  • Who the book is for
  • Current manuscript status
  • Approximate length
  • Relevant sample material
  • Author background
  • Why you think Sitting in Traffic may be a fit
Submission does not guarantee publication. Projects are considered selectively, and we may suggest a services path instead if that is the better fit for the book.
