Open invitation

Be on a Show

Pitch yourself, your book, or an author we should be reading. The Book Stage exists for thoughtful, long-form literary conversation — and we read every submission that comes in.

We reply within two weeks. Independent voices, debut writers, translated work, and overlooked stories are especially welcome.

Who we feature

  • • Novelists, poets, essayists
  • • Debut and emerging writers
  • • Independent and translated voices

What to send

  • • A short pitch (a few paragraphs is fine)
  • • Book title, publisher, release window
  • • A link to the work or your bio

All submissions are delivered directly to hello@thebookstage.com.
