Transita - Great Books For Grown Women

Submission Guidelines

We’re looking for contemporary women’s fiction that reflects the lives of women aged 45 – 75.We are looking for 80-85,000 words but otherwise we are not prescriptive. The books can be as varied as women themselves are at this time of life! We are seeking what is most relevant to the lives of other women out there who are facing the challenges and opportunities of the exciting but often difficult later time of life.

Transita’s aims

We’re starting Transita to fill a void in current literature that effectively mirrors the experiences of modern middle-aged women; to publish new voices that speak for a generation of under-represented readers in this opportunity-rich area of fiction. Our aim is to provide insight, validation, inspiration and encouragement for women in their middle age. The books should crystallise the challenges and opportunities, lives, loves and losses which face so many middle aged women today.

The market for Transita

Our core book buyer is around 45 and over, seeking new challenges, learning new skills, taking risks and stretching themselves beyond previous limitations.

If you feel that your work reflects that outlined above, we would be pleased to receive a synopsis and three sample chapters from you.
