We
will try to respond to you within
a couple days to confirm receipt
of your submission. If we then
determine that we would like
to read the entire manuscript
we will be back in touch with
you. This time frame will be
in the neighborhood of approximately
two to four weeks.. We anticipate
a large number of submissions
so this time estimate may change.
We are a full service,
royalty paying ePublisher which means that there are NO fees
to the author to become published with us. We will edit your
book (not take the life out of it but polish it for publication).
We'll assign an editor to work with you but be assured, this
is your work and if we made the decision to publish it, it
was because we loved it as it is, not because we wanted to
get our hands on it to change it. We will provide the cover
art for your book. We will assign your book an ISBN number.
We will provide
you with a final copy of your book in the formats you'd like
for promotional purposes. If you have need of CD's for signings
or conventions, we can provide those to you with enough advance
notice and for a large discount.
We pay 40% royalties
on retail sales from those sales originating from the Liquid
Silver web site. We pay 40% royalties on retail sales minus
distribution costs for those sales which originate from various
distribution channels we utilize. Royalties are paid on a
calendar quarter basis by either company check or Paypal.
For International authors, individual arrangements can be
made to ease the exchange rate burden.
Our contract is
for electronic rights for one year. We are placing some of
our books into print and contracts will be revised for those.
30% of net proceeds is the royalty paid for print books.
Molten Silver -
Author Guidelines
Distinctive, Alternative, Romantic Erotica
Satisfy Your Naughtier Side
Tie them up, chain them down, press the envelope. Bring
your darkest fantasies to life.
Give us your kick-ass heroines, your drool-worthy heroes,
and your well-crafted stories that keep us coming back
for more.
Liquid Silver Books is known for publishing classy,
hot, distinctive erotic romances. Now we want to
take our stories to a hotter, steamier level. With
our new Molten Silver line, we want the stories that
are hot enough to melt silver. We’re looking for the
naughty, the boundary-pushing, the “holy crap,
that was awesome.” Stories that include BDSM,
multiple partners, same-sex loving, anal play, or
anything else that tickles your fancy. Just make
sure to give us a happily ever after (or, happy for
now) ending.
That being said, there are a few taboos we’d
rather not see, including pedophilia, bestiality (no,
that doesn’t include shape-shifters), rape
or incest, or hate messages to any race, gender,
religion, or sexuality.
Got a story that’s right for us? Contemporary,
Paranormal, Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Urban Fantasy,
Science-Fiction, Romantic Suspense, or a combination
of these—We
want to see it! Send your first three chapters, a
synopsis, and a cover letter annotating the submission
is for the Molten Silver Line to subs2008@liquidsilverbooks.com
