During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

I like to talk about books. A lot. Fantasy books, science fiction books, romance books, sad books, fun books, bleak books, silly books, short stories, novellas, novels, and intimidatingly hefty tomes. If you also like to talk entirely too much about books, you've come to the right place. Make yourself at home! 

The importance of fantasy and science fiction isn't in escaping to far off worlds, but in how we use that framework to understand the one we all live in. To read and now publish these works is the greatest joy of my life. Pull up a seat and join me!
