A small print publisher based out of Arizona, Hohm has been around for many years. They are a respected press that has published a number of well-known authors. They generally focus on health and wellness. They are not interested in fiction or short story collections.

Their website was updated in the last two years and is much better than the original site.

The covers of their books are largely well designed and appealing.

You must query first. They are not interested in unsolicited manuscripts, only queries. When you query them include a query letter and a small representative sample from the book. It should not be more than 20 pages in length.

They are currently interested in the queries in the flowing areas:

• Teachings and texts from authentic spiritual and mystical traditions, such as Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism, Taoism, 4th Way, esoteric Christianity, etc
• Transformational psychology
• Translations of classic spiritual poetry
• Biographies and autobiographies of spiritual teachers
• Autobiographies or memoirs that feature work with a spiritual teacher, teaching, or path
• First-hand accounts of transformational experiences or relationships

They specify that “A professionally edited manuscript will receive a more favorable response from us.” And go on to say “If we accept your professionally edited manuscript, Hohm Press will manage the design, printing, and distribution of your book through our extensive national and international networks. Domestically, our national distributor ensures availability in over 8,000 major retail and chain bookstores, along with approximately 2,600 independent booksellers across the U.S. and Canada. We are represented by 25 sales firms that cover all major wholesalers and bookstores, as well as more than 100 eBook platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and iTunes.”

I have two take-aways from this. The first is that they are no longer editing most work (even professionally edited work, still needs some copy editing before publishing) and the second, is that even though none of their distribution is excellent, in and of itself, they do manage to get books into stores (and I have seen them there). The lack of editing doesn’t appear to be across the board, but I would very much take that into consideration if I was considering submitting to them.
