BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Straight answers to common publishing questions.

Check the essentials before choosing an annual package, applying for revenue share or asking about a Taiwan catalogue pilot.

01Does my book need to be finished before I start?

Yes. Annual-package submissions need complete files for review. Revenue-share applications must be professionally edited, proofread, formatted and publication-ready.

02Which publishing route should I choose?

Choose an annual package for predictable yearly costs and 100% of net royalties, reviewed revenue share for a publication-ready title with no upfront or annual fee, or the Taiwan pilot for a focused publisher catalogue.

03Can you guarantee stores, libraries or sales?

No. Every title, format and channel remains subject to review, eligibility and third-party acceptance. Publication, placement, acquisition and sales are not guaranteed.

04What happens after payment or approval?

Create and verify your publisher account, submit the required book files and rights evidence, then follow human review, corrections, approval, distribution status and reporting in your workspace.

05Can I ask a question before choosing?

Yes. Send a publishing enquiry before selecting a plan or applying. We can clarify the routes and requirements, but an enquiry does not reserve placement or guarantee acceptance.
