About the Publisher Established in 2018, <strong>Toplight</strong> <strong>Books</strong> is an 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. 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. <strong>Toplight</strong>’s interests include uplifting and positive books about psychology and mindfulness, religious studies and spirituality, and alternative health treatments. We seek to cover topics as wide-ranging as hiking, fitness, yoga, dance, aging, neurodiversity, sleep, dreams, nature, leadership, chemical sensitivity, chronic pain, parenting, relationships, travel, and health memoirs. Becoming an Author S ubmissions from authors and literary agents are invited, and should be directed to executive editor Lisa Camp’s attention at toplightbooks@mcfarlandpub.com.
