MPV PUBLISHING
About MPV Publishing
MPV Publishing seeks progressive Muslim authors to share their work through our imprint. We accept nonfiction, memoirs, fiction, personal essays, short stories, and poetry. A portion of the sales of each book sold will be donated to MPV to help fund and empower our progressive missions worldwide.
application categories:
Nonfiction: We are looking for progressive Islamic history, memoirs, or handbooks for progressive Muslims
Fiction: We are seeking strong female leads, themes that explore cultural and religious identity from a progressive perspective, LGBTQ+ characters, disabled or differently-abled characters, and historical fiction that highlights Islamic history. We also accept genre fiction with a progressive Islamic perspective in romance, YA, mystery, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and literary fiction genres.
Personal Essays: These are typically published in a collection, so please note that publishing may take longer for these submissions. We are seeking progressive Islamic opinion pieces that incorporate current events, cultural issues, diverse perspectives, and may incorporate elements of comedy and satire.
Short Stories: These are also published in anthologies or collections, so unless you have an entire book of short stories to submit, these might take longer to publish as we acquire the other stories for the collection. We are seeking short stories with a progressive Islamic perspective in the following genres: literary fiction, romance, mystery, and horror.
Poetry: We are seeking progressive Islamic-themed poetry that explores devotion, prayer, faith, gender and sexual diversity, feminism, mental illness, disabilities, and intersectionalities in identity for Muslims.
Please allow us 4-6 weeks processing time to respond with our final decision regarding your work.
