Are You Interested in Becoming a Published Author or Illustrator?
Relevant Publishers LLC is accepting new authors.
The process for becoming a new author is relatively simple. First, prepare your manuscript (book). To submit your manuscript for consideration, request a Right to Read Agreement, which allows Relevant staff to confidentially read your book (during a 45 day window) without a formal agreement to publish. During the review period, authors retain all rights and the book & author name are kept completely confidential. After reviewing the manuscript, we will decide whether or not to formally offer a publishing contract or decline the material. If a formal contract is offered, authors can decide to enter into a publishing agreement formally to have their manuscript published by us. Your manuscript will undergo a formal editing process, book cover design process, print layout (if applicable) , e-book conversion (if applicable), and all the other necessities of publishing. Relevant Publishers LLC will then join with authors in marketing and promoting the book to the public, which could include author interviews, book blog tours, reviews, and signings.

Right to Read Agreement
Relevant Publishers LLC is an "Open Book" to partners of our publishing team. We want authors who are considering joining us to be able to read our Right to Read Agreement in advance before deciding if they want to pursue this path. Additionally, we have made a basic publishing contract available for review so prospective authors can see our difference.
|
Publishing Agreement ContractRelevant Publishers LLC desires to create a quality partnership with authors. Authors will notice immediately our difference in their royalties, which increase substantially (up to 50%) with increased volume of sales. Unlike other houses, Relevant Publishers LLC allows authors to purchase printed books at a substantially discounted rate and allows for private resale, which means authors can gross higher royalties on books they personally sell.
Additionally, Relevant Publishers LLC does not obligate future books of authors to a "First Rights of Refusal" clause. This means authors are free to choose us or another publishing house for their next book. Authors also retain all movie, television, and radio series rights to their books as well as merchandising rights for clothing and toys that are not promotional items designed by the Publisher. |
