Academia Lunare is the Luna Press Publishing academic branch for speculative non-fiction. 

​

AL Speculative Standalone Projects

 

One of the most exciting aspects of fandom is the critical assessment of speculative literature, as a way to show one's love for a particular author or body of work. Speculative non-fiction is also a mirror for society, with an eye cast into the future.

 

We deal with monographs, conference proceedings, collections of papers, articles, dissertations, etc. 

Full publishing contract available to individual authors and faculties. 

 

With this project, we want to encourage scholars and authors to enrich the knowledge and understanding of readership. We also welcome proposals for essay collections as part of higher education/PhD course incentives.

​

Reference (insets included) using the Harvard System from Anglia Ruskin University. Find the full guide on their website.

 

Send us a proposal for your idea, clarifying if the book is yet to be written, and a rough word count. 

We are open for submissions all year round. Email us at lunasubmissions[at]outlook[dot]com
