Magical books are Hermetic and Talismanic Works of Art produced by the integration of well-written, well-researched, and fascinating content with beautiful design and elegant binding. In line with our goal of creating such Magical volumes for practitioners and scholars of the Great Work, as well as for collectors of rare and beautiful books, we at Azoth Press are currently interested in book proposals from authors of relevant works.

We are of course very interested in queries from established authors, but are also willing to consider submissions from talented and knowledgeable new authors.

If you are interested in submitting a book proposal to Azoth Press, please read this entire guide before sending a submission. If your submission does not follow these guidelines, we are far less likely to consider it for publication.

We are interested in proposals for outstanding books in the Western Magical Tradition, in areas ranging from classical grimoires to modern ritual magick, from the Golden Dawn to the Servants of the Light, from Theurgia to Goetia, from esoteric Freemasonry to Hermetic Qabbalah, from the Græco-Egyptian Magical Papyri to Enochiana.

‣ Cover letter, containing:

☐ Brief description of the proposed book
