FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

A story worth telling.
A book worth making.

A book starts with an idea, but bringing it to readers involves many decisions. Your manuscript, the audience you want to reach and the purpose behind the work shape that journey. A publishing conversation creates room to understand those goals and discuss the support, rights and responsibilities involved before committing to a direction.

CONTENTS

Your publishing
journey.

01

Your story

Introduce the heart of the manuscript: its subject, intended audience and what makes it important to you. Share its current stage, approximate length and the kind of feedback or publishing support you want to explore.

02

Publishing enquiries

Publishing arrangements can differ in the work included, cost and rights retained by an author. Ask about the proposed process, editing, production, distribution and responsibilities. Confirm the arrangement in writing before making commitments.

03

Author conversation

A focused author conversation connects the manuscript with your goals for its readers. Bring a synopsis, a short sample and your questions about the next stage. Your voice and the purpose of the work should remain central to the discussion.

Your manuscript has a beginning. Let’s discuss what comes next.

Discuss this website
Do I need a finished manuscript to make an enquiry?

Explain the current stage clearly. A synopsis and sample can help frame an early conversation, while production decisions usually need a more complete view of the work.

What should I ask about publishing rights?

Ask which rights are granted, for how long and in which formats or territories. Read the proposed agreement carefully and seek independent advice where needed.

What belongs in a first enquiry?

The title or working title, subject, intended readership, approximate length, manuscript stage and the support you are seeking.
