The significant difference between INQ and traditional publishers is that we understand the conventional downfalls and inaccessibility of the publishing process. By contrast, we have an innovative process for both submissions to the journal and the press.   For submissions to the journal, presentations can be emailed as slide decks due to the shorter length of these submissions. 

Provided the written work is strong, prospective writers can pitch in a way that is thematic to their project and not necessarily the traditional way - for example, a formal presentation or interactive website – it’s all about putting your best foot forward. We remain committed to breaking down the too-well-known additional barriers to hearing these diverse, intersectional voices. 

You must be able to state a robust, evidence-first case. We will give you the time and space to shine if you can do that. In practice, this means leading with what makes you different. In other words, what perspective do you have? What have you been reading with which you are in a “conversation” with? 

The point here is to create space for diversity of experience and cater to the variety of intersectional writers the charity is built to serve. Especially neurodivergent writers may find this way of submission helpful, as the fine-tuning of the written format of a query letter is not for everyone.
