Not me - a writer who has shown me his work and I don't know where to tell him to place it. It's a cross between The Pilgrim's Progress and Star Trek with a lot of eastern philosophy and tribal history included. Someone in the 'Mind, Body, Spirit' world might be interested? Help!

If you mean which genre, I'd really need to read it first - but if not science fiction, Modern And Contemporary Fiction includes a lot of unconventional stuff.

Also, is it short story, novella, novel?

He says it's a novel. I'm really wondering if there is a publisher who specialises in that kind of thing. I think he has put in things that happened to him (regression etc) I would call it Science Fiction but it could come under philosophy!

Chomu Press is one publisher of offbeat, unique material like this may be. Other possibilities that are occasionally publishing some unusual sf are PS Publishing and NewCon Press. I bet there are others. I don't know anything about publishers focused on spiritually-oriented material.
