Cuidono Press publishes historical and literary fiction, with an emphasis on storytelling and a strong sense of place, and non-fiction history.

We are not currently accepting new fiction queries, but would be happy to read brief pitches for historical narratives aimed at general readers.

To pitch a project, contact Cuidono at queries(at)cuidono.com


In addition to the books we publish, Cuidono also offers a wide range of editorial and production services for fiction, general non-fiction, and scholarly works, from manuscript quick-reads and evaluations, project development, copyediting, and indexing to production and design services for self-publishing. These services are offered separately from our publishing program.
