Guidelines:

All of our books receive a full marketing plan and are printed in paperback formats, as well as distribution as eBook and audiobook. We consider publishing a collaboration and pay 40% of all Publisher’s Net Receipts to the author as royalties. Depending on the project, we may also offer an advance. We ask for exclusive First World English rights, audiobook rights, and some subsidiary rights. We believe in transparency.

We aim to get a response to authors within 90 days. If you haven’t heard from us in 90 days, please send a query. If we decide to hold your submission for review, you will receive a notification via email, and this may mean a longer response time, as we will hold selected novellas until after the submission call ends, at which point our Guest Editor will review them.
