Betsy Ashton
Author of the Mad Max Mystery series
Q: Starting with the most obvious question: what inspired the creation of Mad Max?
A: She did. Seriously. She was a minor character until 3 a.m. one day. She woke me up, yelling “It’s MY story. Tell it my way, dammit.” Well, yes ma’am.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Co-Publishing
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
