Submission Guidelines

Triad Press welcomes inquiries from authors, researchers, and practitioners working in the fields of Gnosticism, Martinism, esoteric Freemasonry, and Western esotericism. We do not require full manuscripts for initial review. Instead, we seek well-developed proposals that demonstrate both depth of knowledge and a clear contribution to esoteric discourse.

What We Are Looking For

We publish high-quality, deeply researched, or traditionally grounded non-fiction, translations, and commentaries in the following areas:
• Historical and contemporary Gnostic traditions • Martinism, Martinèsism, and Willermozism • Esoteric, Hermetic, and occult dimensions of Freemasonry • Western Esotericism, Rosicrucianism, and Alchemy

A Note on Fiction

While our primary focus is non-fiction, Triad Press will selectively consider exceptional works of fiction. To be considered, the manuscript must be deeply rooted in alchemical, hermetic, or initiatic themes, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of the tradition. We do not accept casual fantasy, poetry, or unverified channelings.
