Emerging Authors Program

The Emerging Authors Program (EAP) is embedded in our Hybrid co-publishing model, and is designed primarily for debut or emerging writers who have the talent, but not necessarily the experience or platform, to merit a traditional publishing deal. This is a competitive program, a kind of literary incubator, aimed at those considering multiple books, or those with manuscripts that show lots of potential, but lack professional polish. Our aim for EAP is to place authors on a path to getting traditionally published someday. In fact, several of our EAP graduates have been offered traditional deals on subsequent books. Read some of our author testimonials.

Have you looked at our other publishing models?

We publish two ways.

Traditional Publishing

Typically for established writers with superb stories

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.

Hybrid/Co-Publishing

Typically for emerging and established writers

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.
