Manuscript Submissions & Guidelines
Guidelines For Submitting Manuscripts To Dà Má Press:
We welcome manuscript submissions and project ideas/inquiries from like-minded authors looking for a friendly place to have your cannabis/hemp-related books, papers & products published - We are looking to expand our catalog and further our mission of sowing seeds of cannabis knowledge far-and-wide by including more writers who have felt excluded from traditional publishing. We are opening our submission process with a call to authors with new and distinct voices to submit non-fiction and/or art-related manuscripts (we may consider fiction/literary manuscripts if they are new, distinct and unique) that fit into our areas of interest:
Our Publishing Topics:
- Cannabis/hemp history and human culture (focus on traditional spiritual/religious, cultural and inspirational uses)
- Ecology and sustainability (sustainable agriculture, biodynamic hemp farming etc.)
- Breeding & genetics
- Science & research (new cannabinoids, the latest therapeutic and/or industrial applications/discoveries etc.)
- The (re-)normalization of cannabis in modern society and best practices for safe, respectful responsible use
- The interplay and cross-pollination between cannabis, culture and the arts
- Travelers’ Tales/Biography: Inspirational stories by hemp trailblazers, cannabis industry pioneers, and other canna-characters
Manuscript Submission Guidelines/Requirements:
Please send a query email that includes:
- Overview. A full description of the book and why it’s compelling and interesting to all readers. Please keep to a single page.

We prefer to work directly with authors.
