How to get Published at Qix - The BookMakers
The book publishing landscape can often seem mysterious and inaccessible. Here at Qix - The BookMakers, we aim to foster a vibrant, inclusive community of writers by simplifying the digital publication process. This guide is designed to clarify the steps and introduce you to the resources available for digital publishing.
Step One: Finalize Your Manuscript or Proposal
Starting with a strong book idea is key. The initial step is to finalize your manuscript or draft your proposal, depending on whether your project is fiction or nonfiction. For assistance with your writing process, explore various online resources and communities, such as Facebook Groups tailored to writers. These platforms offer invaluable support and guidance.
At Qix - The BookMakers, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers for marginalized voices, improving your likelihood of getting published or giving your self-published work a second chance and a new avenue for success.
Step Two: Early Manuscript Assessment
You can submit parts of your manuscript, from a few pages to the entire document, anonymously if preferred. Our early assessment service provides you with straightforward feedback about where your manuscript stands. If we see potential in your work, you might receive a preliminary offer, prompting further material submissions.
Step Three: QIX as Partner for Publication Success
For authors new to the publishing scene, we provide clear paths to prepare your work for the market. Should your submission impress us and fit well within our catalog, a preliminary contract might be extended. This is not a final publication guarantee but the start of a detailed review process. You can choose to revise your manuscript based on our feedback or let Qix handle the edits. In cases where Qix completes your manuscript, we will appear as co-authors and receive a 30% share of future revenues. This partnership minimizes your editing burden and clarifies the revision process, enhancing your manuscript’s success potential.
Step Four: Achieve a Publishing Agreement
Upon successful final evaluation of your manuscript, or if you opt for Qix as a co-author, you'll receive a formal offer. The choice to proceed is entirely yours. Once an offer is accepted, we’ll draft a contract and discuss the details, with room for minor negotiations. Should you have any concerns or questions about the contract, we encourage you to engage with us directly.
We’re excited about your writing journey and look forward to potentially showcasing your work on our shelves!
