Fig Tree Books publishes novels and nonfiction (including memoirs) that chronicle and enlighten the “American Jewish experience” (see About/About Our Name). We do not publish poetry, autobiographies, novellas, short story collections, chap books, young adult, sci-fi, or children’s books. We only accept completed manuscripts from agents.

Please note that manuscripts need to be grounded in American values, culture, and history. For us, the Jewish experience means engaging with what it means to be a Jewish American: how one goes about his or her life practicing his or her Judaism, or how one copes with Jewish identity, or deals with social/political/cultural issues associated with being Jewish or interactions between/among Jews and other groups. 

Submissions outside of our definition of the American Jewish experience will not be considered.

Agents, please send submissions to Info@FigTreeBooks.net. Please include a query letter, a summary or synopsis of the manuscript, and the first chapter.
