I‘m happy (and relieved) to see you’re shaping it as a place for personal stories through „transformative“ literature, rather than a book-review club. It sounds like a great initiative, thank you!

I was wondering - I have an idea for a guest post but the book that I want to talk about isn't actually a work of fiction. Rather, it's a critical/analytical book that focuses on the history of a certain work. It has definitely had a profound impact on me and my writing, and I would like to pitch it at some point. But would it qualify if it's not literature?

That’s absolutely fine! We’ve had someone write about a textbook in the past, so very happy to have the book that made you be a piece of non-fiction

I love this idea. I read substack, have not written on substack. This may be the time I give it a try. Thanks for opportunity.

Question? Do you accept non-fiction books (not including religious texts) or memoirs?

Absolutely! Have had submissions for non-fiction, poetry, even a text book! The only no no is a book you wrote yourself
