We publish a wide range of non-fiction books that aim to challenge how readers think and feel about health by connecting science, medicine, life and art.
Our adventurous and unusual books explore health, medicine and the complexities of the human condition. They are published under the Wellcome Collection imprint, in partnership with leading independent publisher Profile Books.
We are particularly interested in working with UK-based writers from racially minoritised communities, as well as disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent writers.
How to propose a book
We accept book proposals directly from writers, but we recommend that you find a literary agent to work with you to secure the right publisher and support your career as a writer. We do not publish academic books, or offer grants for publishing projects.
We are not accepting new book proposals right now. We’ll reopen to submissions later in 2024. Please wait until there’s an update before pitching your idea.
