Author Resources

Do the next thing right

Short, practical guidance we give every author who asks. No gatekeeping, whether you publish with us or not.

Preparing your submission

• Lead with the problem your book solves and who it is for. We read the synopsis before the sample.
• A proposal beats a polished first chapter. Show us the shape of the whole book.
• Word counts help us plan formats. 30k to 70k words is the sweet spot for the categories we publish.

What a partnership includes

• Structural and line editing with a named editor, not a queue.
• Cover and interior design built for the shelf and the thumbnail.
• Release across eBook, audiobook, softcover, and hardcover with retail distribution handled.

Building your author platform

• Start the email list before the book exists. It is the only channel you fully own.
• One platform done consistently beats four done occasionally.
• Your book is the front door to everything else you sell or offer. Position it that way.
