Publishing

Take your time with the application and share as much detail as you can about your project, your background, and the story you want to tell. The more context you give us, the better we can understand your work and how it fits within La Jetée Press.

We are especially interested in thoughtful, well-developed ideas rooted in aviation or automotive history, whether it is a completed manuscript, a work in progress, or an early concept with strong direction. Tell us what inspired it, what makes it unique, and why you feel it deserves to be published as a lasting work.

Every submission is reviewed with care. If your project feels like a strong fit, we will reach out to guide you through the next steps and discuss how we can bring it to life together.

A strong interest in aviation or automobiles is essential, as the best projects come from people who genuinely understand and care about these worlds.

We also ask that you think carefully about any copyrighted materials you plan to include in your work. If you are using third party images, text, or archival content, we will need to review and discuss permissions to ensure everything is properly cleared for publication.

This helps protect both your work and the integrity of the final book, while making sure we can move forward smoothly if your project is accepted.
