for Writers

If you would like to submit your Work for consideration, please read this first.

ireadiwrite Publishing is a unique publishing company.  Currently, all of our books are available as digital editions only.  Like any publisher, we review submissions, design cover art, edit, typeset/format and handle distribution.  However, because digital publishing has much lower overhead costs, we pass along those savings to both the writer (in the form of higher royalties) and the reader (in the form of lower prices).

We review all Works that are submitted and are selective. We currently publish only literary & genre fiction, poetry and selected non-fiction.


Submissions

The Work: Only complete and edited manuscripts are seriously considered.  Submit your work in rich text format (rtf). Your file should include the title, table of contents (if necessary) and a short synopsis of the Work. Poems should be combined into a collection. We set the list price of your Work based on length. Submitting cover art is not necessary, but if you have it, please send it in high resolution jpeg format.

The Bio: Please include a picture and a short personal biography or history of your writing career. If you have your own web page or blog, please include the link. If you’d like to remain anonymous, then please be sure to indicate a pseudonym and there’s no need to include a picture.

If you’re ready to submit, please go to the Submission form

We review all submissions regularly, so we will respond to your submission within a week. If you are selected, you will be forwarded a contract for you to review.


Ownership and Copyright

You retain all rights to your Work. You are simply giving us the non-exclusive right to publish and distribute it. When we publish the book, the book is copyrighted under your name and has your contact email on the legal page. If you subsequently sell your work with exclusive rights, it is your responsibility to inform us and we will remove it from the site and affiliates.
