Send us a copy* of your manuscript.
Include any additional comments, questions or information you’d like us to have.
*VERY IMPORTANT: Please be sure you do not send us the only copy of your manuscript! Manuscripts cannot be returned, regardless of whether we ultimately publish them.
What We Will Do
Once we have received and reviewed your manuscript, we will contact you with an offer to publish your book and the cost for publication. We will enclose a Services Request Form for you to complete and return to us.
Rarely, we must decline to publish a manuscript, usually because it violates one of our publication policies.
Word Out Books does not publish the following:
Books that advocate the commission of crimes or incitement to commit crimes.*
Books that could be considered libelous.
Books designed to allow a person convicted of a crime to profit directly from that crime.*
Books which, in our exclusive editorial judgment, violate the ethical principles of our company.
*Please note that we do accept Urban Fiction for publication.
Invoicing
When we receive your signed Services Request Form we will send you an invoice requesting payment for our publication services. Payment may be made by check, bank draft, or money order. We do not accept credit card payments or cash. Checks/drafts/money orders must be made payable to our parent company, AZ Entertainment Group LLC.
We will begin publication after payment has been received in full. Once publication work has begun, fees are non-refundable. If you wish to cancel publication, please contact us within 10 business days of payment, so that we can process your refund.
Please Note: If we do not receive your payment or a request for additional time for payment within 90 days of our receipt of your manuscript, we will assume the project is a no-go and will destroy the manuscript without further obligation to the author. We cannot keep unpaid manuscripts indefinitely. Again, please do not send us the only copy of your work!
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding our services or fees. We want to help you get your word out to the world with Word Out Books!
