ABOUT THE PUBLISHER 

oplight Books is a new imprint of McFarland with a focus on 

the body, mind and spirit. We seek to offer a wide array of 

books that explore these basic, essential components of being 

human that in the pace and pressure of modern life are too often 

relegated to the periphery of our consciousness. 

The neglect of our physical, mental and spiritual selves diminishes 

our capacity to respond to life and each other, to the great 

detriment of personal and planetary well-being, and we hope to 

counter the trend with well-researched books covering any or all 

of the three core human dimensions, in original and inspiring 

ways. We seek to cover topics as wide-ranging as yoga & meditation 

guides to explorations of neurodiversity and addiction, and 

scientific studies on the nature of qi.

BECOMING AN AUTHOR 

oplight’s interests include uplifting and positive books 

about psychology and mindfulness, religious studies and 

spirituality, and alternative health treatments. Toplight does not 

publish fiction or poetry. Submissions from authors and literary 

agents are invited, and should be directed to Natalie Foreman’s 

attention at toplightbooks@mcfarlandpub.com. 

For general guidelines for prospective authors, please refer to 

Toplight’s author resource center at ToplightBooks.com. For 

very technical or scholarly works about medicine, social sciences, 

or philosophy (for example), direct those submissions to 

McFarland at proposals@mcfarlandpub.com. Among librarians 

and scholars especially, McFarland is viewed as distinguished yet 

daring, and we suggest you browse the McFarland catalog to get 

a feel for our other offerings.
