eTreasures Publishing was founded in 2004 on the principle of helping serious writers become published, first in e-book format, and eventually in print book . We are located just south of Atlanta, Georgia. eTreasures not only publishes e-books, but also publishes print books and promotes them online, within its own site and through other re-sellers. We offer authors general editing, copyediting, formatting, and cover design at no charge. We offer a three year exclusive contract for e-books. We pay royalties on e-books sales at the rate of 35% of the retail price. We offer soft-cover printed editions after e-books sales have reached 100 e-books sold. Royalties on print books are 15% of the retail price.
Authors are consulted through every phase. If an author prefers to have a cover designed by an outside source, we can provide a graphics artist for this purpose, or they can find their own. To see the cover arts already designed by the artist we recommend, visit her page by clicking here.
Once a manuscript has been read, a letter of rejection or acceptance will follow. If rejected, we will state why. Revisions may be made and the revised edition re-submitted. We don't make any money unless an e-book sells, therefore we take only high quality material. If a manuscript needs revising in order to be accepted, we will explain in detail what needs to be done. It is then the author's responsibility to make the revisions. Once accepted, a three year contract will be offered. We do not pay advance royalties, but we do pay royalties on all sold copies. Once a contract is signed and received, we go to work on editing for typo's, correct grammar and punctuation, and sentence structure. We do not do massive editing, nor do we change the manuscript in any way that will alter the storyline. Author will receive a proof to approve before placing it on our site. There are no fees. Manuscripts must be submitted in a specific manner. For more information, see our submission guidelines.
We do not outright purchase manuscripts of any kind. We only obtain the rights for publishing them. For information on what categories (genres) we are accepting, please see our listings on the home page. At the current time, we are accepting manuscripts in ALL genres on our list. If any genres close due to mass submissions, we will post it on the submissions page.
