The first step in our publishing process begins with you submitting your manuscript. Follow our Submission Guidelines to provide a polished manuscript along with a query letter and synopsis. Once submitted, our editorial team carefully reviews each work to ensure it aligns with our focus on amplifying LGBTQ+ voices and telling meaningful, diverse stories. If your manuscript is shortlisted, we’ll contact you to discuss the next steps and begin our collaborative journey.

Once your manuscript is accepted, we’ll work with you to formalize our partnership through a publishing agreement. This agreement outlines key details, including royalties, rights, and the comprehensive support you’ll receive throughout the publishing process. At this stage, you’ll retain creative ownership of your work while we provide the professional resources and expertise to bring your vision to life.

With the agreement in place, the real collaboration begins. Our editors work with you to refine your manuscript, starting with developmental editing to strengthen the plot, pacing, and characters. Afterward, we move into line and copyediting, polishing the grammar, style, and consistency to ensure your story is clear, engaging, and publication-ready. This stage is all about teamwork, as we help bring your story to its fullest potential.

Once the manuscript is perfected, we shift to the visual and technical aspects of the book. Our talented design team creates an eye-catching cover that reflects the essence of your story, while the interior formatting team ensures the manuscript is cleanly laid out for both print and digital editions. We use print-on-demand (POD) services to make your book accessible globally while minimizing waste, so your story can reach readers everywhere.

With the book ready to launch, we focus on getting it into the hands of readers. Your book will be distributed across major platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as local independent bookstores. Simultaneously, we develop and execute marketing strategies, including social media campaigns, promotional materials, and author spotlights. This ensures your book has maximum visibility and connects with its intended audience.

Even after your book is published, we remain by your side. We provide ongoing support through transparent royalty tracking and opportunities for continued collaboration, such as workshops, promotional events, and author features. Whether it’s organizing book signings or preparing for your next project, we’re committed to fostering a long-term partnership that helps your career thrive.
