Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. We will never ask for any money, require you to buy books, refer you to a third party for editing, etc. We are not a vanity press. If your novel engulfs our attention, and we love your manuscript, we’re willing to put our time and money into the project to make it sell. If any other publisher, or agent wants money from you, our advice is to turn and run.
We’re not able to put up actual contract numbers. This would be a private discussion to tailor the contract to best fit your manuscript. That said: we are very competitive when we offer a contract. We will pay you starting with the first book you sell (i.e. you start making money the moment people buy your book). There are many independent publishers that pay on net profits, which means you might not see a dime if they don’t recoup production costs. Some presses pay royalties on net profits by putting out great books, and do pay their writers, but we want to be as inviting as possible so we can be as selective as possible.
Please send all manuscripts (with your name and book title in the subject line) to info@8thandatlaspublishing.com
