What do you value in a book?
Our mission is to help you turn your idea or project into a book. In the way we finance our books, we take into account the author and her/his community, as well as the potential of the idea and the quality of the writing. It is important that you complete the form as much as possible, this is the best way to help us to better understand your project, discover your motivations and assess whether it makes sense to finance it with our method.
How long does it take to respond?
Our team studies all the projects that come to us. This means that we take time to read the information you send us, to take a look at the manuscript or idea, and to browse both your profile and your community.

Do you publish in any languages other than English?
At the moment we only publish in English. However, we can offer international distribution and the possibility to sell foreign rights with the opportunity to translate the book in other languages.

You have up to 90 days to deliver the manuscript to our editorial team. However, we are flexible and study each project in detail.

As long as you have not signed an exclusive contract with another publisher, we can work together to turn your project into a book.
