Become
an Author
With Abbott ePublishing!
|
Abbott
ePublishing
is actively
seeking authors to
sign with us!
Unlike many major
publishing houses, and
even some online
publishers, we
actively
seek out and LOVE to
sign previously
unpublished authors.
New talent is fine with
us. We want to encourage
these new authors by
bringing their work to
the world through
eBooks, which we believe
is
the format in which many
people will read books
in the future.
Our contract is
relatively
straightforward and easy
to understand. It
protects both the author
and the publisher. All
terms are, of course,
negotiable.
Authors who let us
produce
books of original
content and sell it here
at our Website receive 50
percent of the online
sales
price as a
royalty. That’s truly an
amazing figure in the
publishing
business (both off-line
AND online) but we want
to reward our authors
for their hard work.
We are accepting
submissions in a wide
variety of areas.
Please follow the
guidelines below and
email your submissions
to publisher(at)abbottepublishing.com
Our
guidelines are as
follows:
- We are
accepting and
actively seeking
submissions.
- Submissions
should be in
double-spaced
text in a readable
typeface (Arial, Times
New Roman, or Tahoma
are
common) 12-point type
size.
- A note on
length: Our
philosophy is that
eBooks should be not a
page longer, nor
shorter, than they
need to be.
No padding with
unneeded words, just
to get up to a
"magical"
200-page length. Some
eBooks will work
perfectly
at 45 pages, but
others will settle in
comfortably between 50
and 75 pages.
- Submit entries
in MS Word
.doc format,
as an email
attachment.
- Entries should
be
spell-checked,
grammatically correct
and ready for
publication. They may
be further
edited by us for
length or content, and
of course for
grammatical
clarity and for
spelling errors.
- Include full
contact
information (name,
full street address,
phone with area code,
and email) a synopsis
of 50-75 words, and a
100-word or less
biography of the
author.

seeking -
genres and specific
subject guidelines: (updated
