Many authors self-publish at first, to get their foot in the door and some have done very well. If you're looking for a quick way to get your book out, then consider self publishing. Conventional publishing can take well over a year before a book is finally printed, but depending on the amount of editing required, you can have a self published book out in a couple of months or less. At Dancing Fox
Publishing we service our authors on a contractual basis and a contract is available for viewing, just contact us . We require a brief outline, synopsis of the manuscript (MS), plus the first three chapters of the book, preferably the first three, but at least the first chapter and then any other two continuous chapters. This is to allow us to see how well you transition from one chapter to another. We suggest you proof your manuscript at least four times and have someone not related to you read it as well. Family will tell you what you want to hear, because they love you, but a good honest reader will tell you what you NEED to hear. You'll be able to send us your manuscript, if we show an interest, via email or US Postal Service, DVD/CD or email attachment. We like using email, as it saves a tree. Make sure your manuscript is formatted correctly, or we'll not even read it. Check our submissions page for proper format.
