TGEP Select
A curated acquisition programme dedicated to identifying a small number of exceptional manuscripts each year.
Some manuscripts ask to be remembered.
Certain works possess a distinctive voice, originality of thought, and the possibility of enduring significance. TGEP Select exists to recognise and support such manuscripts through rigorous editorial evaluation and publisher-funded publication.
Limited Acquisitions
Only a very small number of manuscripts may be selected each year.
Publisher-Funded Publication
Selected works are published entirely at the publisher's expense.
Long-Term Partnership
We seek books and authors capable of developing meaningful and enduring readership.
What We Look For
Originality. Authenticity. Distinctive voice. Literary, intellectual, or cultural significance. Craftsmanship. Emotional truth. The possibility that a book may continue to matter long after publication.

Please Note
Submission to The Good Earth Publishers does not guarantee selection under TGEP Select. Manuscripts not selected under this programme may still be considered under other publishing pathways available through The Good Earth Publishers.
We encourage submissions that represent genuine creative effort and original thought. Authors should disclose any material use of generative artificial intelligence tools in the preparation of their manuscripts.
