Submission Open
Liz Fe Lifestyle (LFL) is a Black-owned, woman-led publishing house in Columbus, Ohio, devoted to amplifying feminist voices. We welcome bold, original work that challenges patriarchy, inspires change, and expands feminist thought.
What We Publish
We publish three kinds of books:
1. Written In-House
Our team created LFL’s first collection of books and continues to develop new titles when inspired.
2. Acquired Manuscripts — with Author Partnership
If we love a submitted manuscript, we make a real publishing offer:
- We buy the publishing rights and provide the author with a monetary advance.
- The book remains published under the author’s name.
- The author signs a contract agreeing to actively market the book alongside LFL.
To be considered, authors must include:
- A detailed outline of the book.
- A media kit explaining why they are the best person to write this book and how they will effectively market it (including platform, audience, or promotional plans).
This model allows us to invest in authors we believe in while ensuring every title is backed by an engaged, collaborative marketing plan.
3. Revived Classics
We re-publish important feminist works from the public domain, editing and formatting them with our own commentary to blend historical and contemporary perspectives.
