Anthology submissions

We publish multi-author books in addition to single-author books. From time to time we will post a call for submissions on this page for an upcoming multi-author book.

An anthology or multi-author book is, simply put, a book with multiple contributors. (For single-author and partner collaborations, please see our book submissions page.)

These books can be business oriented (e.g., AI experts discuss future trends), topic oriented (e.g., overcoming compassion fatigue), or general in nature (e.g., an anthology of short stories).

What are we looking for?

While there are lots of “publishers” out there who will gladly charge you thousands of dollars to throw together any pile of words, slap a cover on it, and game Amazon to make you an “Amazon best-selling author,” we at Gray Bear Publications are committed to taking on projects that will bring wisdom, art, or insight to the world, presented in a high quality package that everyone involved can be immensely proud of.

Apart from that, the sky’s the limit. Send us your pitch to see if we are the right publisher for your project.
