Self-Published Book Author Submission Instructions
As you would imagine we have a different team that manages the
self-published author review process.
Self-published authors are a conundrum to the industry (and us)
right now. On the one hand, you have perfect copies ready to
go. On the other hand, if the copy arrives at the publishers
looking like a self-published work, it can be the kiss of
death. We tend to err on the side of caution and we send it
out the old fashioned way so it "looks like a duck, and smells
like a duck"! Also, we won't need a copy of the printed
book. Only after we get interest do we let it be known that
it is already published in another form. Larger publishers
will buy out the rights in many circumstances.
We are NOT a marketing company for your books.
We are not a publicity company. Our job is to find a
larger publisher to buy out your contract.
We strive for efficiency in all areas of our business. Due to the
volume of inquiries that we receive we ask that you please use this
format to begin our communication and the evaluation process.
You may find it easier to type the answers to
these questions in another document and then paste them into the
form.
Many authors have more than one book. Please begin with the one
manuscript you consider your best. Later in the process
we can discuss your other work
You should hear from us within 3 business days after your query.
