Our Submission Guidelines
Partnering with Authors for Success
At ePublishing Works!, we believe in empowering authors to achieve their goals without sacrificing their passion for storytelling. Whether you're breathing new life into your backlist or looking for the right partner for your latest manuscript, we're here to help you focus on what matters most: your writing.
We're actively seeking backlist (previously published) and frontlist (not yet published) titles right now!
Career-minded authors who have a minimum of three completed books (backlist and/or frontlist) in the same genre or sub-genre are best. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
It's okay if some of your backlist titles are still in print as physical copies—our expertise can help you bring them into the digital age.

"...best writing advice I’ve ever received."
"Brian and the team rebranded my series and adjusted pricing, helping me achieve Amazon and Barnes & Noble bestseller rankings in multiple categories.
I appreciated their transparency throughout the publishing process and their quick, thoughtful responses to my questions.
When my publisher shut down, author Kathy Lyons/Jade Lee connected me with ePublishing Works! and years later, it’s still some of the best writing advice I’ve ever received."
