Feature: Travel Books
Deadline for pitches: Nov. 19Issue date: Jan. 19
This feature will cover new travel guides, narrative travel nonfiction, travel reference books, and other travel nonfiction. We'd like to hear about the destinations, domestic or international, that guidebook publishers are leaning into for 2026, and we're especially interested in new approaches to well-trod destinations as well as underrepresented voices and perspectives in travel publishing. Pub. dates: January through July 2026. New titles and adult books only, please; no reprints, children's, or YA. Guidebook publishers: please prioritize first edition guides. The submission deadline is November 19. Visit publishersweekly.com/traveljan26 to submit your titles.
