Self-publishing to Traditional

Step 1

Setting up

Before embarking on your journey into traditional publishing, it’s crucial to ensure your materials are as polished and rejection-proof as possible. We highly recommend collaborating with an experienced, registered editor to refine your trifecta documents—a compelling query letter, a concise yet engaging synopsis, and a well-structured outline. These essential components will significantly enhance your chances of capturing the attention of literary agents and publishers.

Step 2

Application

Traditional publishing houses receive an overwhelming volume of unsolicited submissions daily, making it challenging to review each one. Fortunately, we have the advantage of bypassing the slush pile and engaging directly with publishing companies. The publishers we collaborate with trust us to deliver submission packages that meet high editorial standards and demonstrate strong commercial potential.

Step 3

Negotiation

Our dedicated acquisitions team is committed to securing the best possible deal for your book. With a deep understanding of the ever-evolving book market, our experienced agents accurately assess the value of your manuscript and skillfully negotiate higher advances than you could on your own. Trust that our agents always have your best interests at heart, advocating for your success every step of the way.

Step 4

Contract Signing

With numerous subsidiary rights at stake— including eBook, print, film, TV, bookstore, library, foreign, and derivative rights, among others—each tied to significant financial value, you need a knowledgeable expert to navigate and decode the complexities of your book contract.
