Nova publishes a wide array of non-fiction titles, that can be broken down into three categories: Science and Technology, Medicine and Health and the Social Sciences. We rarely publish memoirs, cookbooks or other types of non-fiction. If you are thinking about publishing with us, or need a recommendation on a different publisher, please contact Alexandra Columbus at a.columbus@novapublishers.com.

We provide all our Titles to Barnes & Nobles and similar retailers. It is then up to the bookstore to decide whether or not they would like to have the book available in their bookshops. In generally, since the books we publish are very specialized, our books normally fit better and are more likely to be adopted by more specialized bookstores, such as certain University bookshops. If there is a specific bookshop in which you would like your book included, please contact Lisa Gambino at marketing@novapublishers.com.

We have partnered with Copyright Clearance Center for permission requests. Please go to Copyright.com and search by ISBN. For any additional requests, please contact Alexandra Columbus at a.columbus@novapublishers.com.

From manuscript submission to having a book available normally takes a 4-6 month period. If an author needs a book available in time for a specific conference or event, please contact Alexandra Columbus at a.columbus@novapublishers.com.

We always look forward to hearing from you! Please fill out the Book Idea Form (under Available Forms) and you will receive a reply within 48-72 hours. You can also contact Stella Rosa directly at nova.main@novapublishers.com with any questions or for additional information.

During the publication process, we will ask you to submit any book cover ideas that you may have. You can also email the Art Department at any time at art@novapublishers.com. Once the artists create a mockup of the cover, you will be sent an email with the image to approve/reject or modify. Please note that we cannot always accommodate your requests as there are certain limitations to the artwork/images we can use (for example, with copyright). However, we always do our best to accommodate.

We prefer a review between 650 and 700 words. We understand this might be unlikely without the loss of important content. Thus, we leave the length of the review up to you. We kindly request to submit the review to us within 14 days of having received the request if you would like it to be included in the book. If not, you can submit the review within 90 days.
