We believe authors deserve the most author-friendly contract in the industry. That means performance-based rights reversions that don’t trap your book forever, and a 100% guarantee that you keep all your dramatic, film, and streaming rights.
We believe authors have a right to a swift publishing decision. No waiting by the mailbox for months; we respect your time and creativity enough to give you a clear answer quickly.
We believe authors should have significant input into the publishing process. You wrote the book, and your voice should guide its journey to the shelf.
We believe authors should have access to the publisher’s internal project plan for their book. Transparency is our baseline, not a special request.
We believe authors should have input on setting a reasonable price for their book.
We believe authors should be able to purchase physical copies of their own books at a flat 50% discount from retail price. We view author purchases as a tool for your personal success, not a profit center for us.
We believe authors should know exactly how many books they sell. Our semi-annual accounting statements explicitly break down unit sales, retail discounts, returns, and any active reserves—fully revealing when and how you get paid.
We believe an author’s financial risk should be strictly isolated. If one of your titles experiences an unexpected wave of bookstore returns, those losses will never be weaponized to drain the royalty earnings of your other books. Your creative catalog deserves complete insulation.
