Western Australian hybrid publisher eText Press is spreading its wings in 2023 by launching a new imprint - Ripper Reads (Australia) - specifically to publish new paperback titles by emerging Australian (and International) writers.
Submissions are now invited for this opportunity.
The author(s) of selected manuscripts will be offered a publishing contract with Ripper Reads on generous terms to the author(s). However, there is no requirement to accept any offer, pre-pay for any services or relinquish any copyright for the work at any time*.
Manuscripts for consideration in the 2023 round are limited to works of fiction of between 70,000 to 100,000 words (though longer and shorter works may be considered at the discretion of the selection panel) but the genre is open (except for material deemed ‘pornographic' or otherwise objectionable). Auto-biographies, travel diaries and ‘picture books’ are not eligible for consideration at this stage*.
A full guide to the precise format requirements for submission and more information about this initiative are available from the eText Press website (see the ‘Submit' page). Manuscripts that do not adhere to these conventions will not be considered for the ‘Ripper’ deal.
(* eText Press also offers all other editorial services - like manuscript assessments, editing and mentoring - for reasonable fees - and produces traditional hardbacks, paperbacks, and eBooks for vanity author clients however these paid services do not form part of this special ‘free publishing' offer, which is applicable only to books selected for publication under the Ripper imprint).
