Publish With Us
Send us your complete manuscript, both on disc and in hard copy, together with your author's bio and short synopsis of the work.
►VERY IMPORTANT:
Be sure to include a completed and signed
contract. Select the proper format
to print your contract from the list at
the left.
Mail all the required materials to:
Hutton Electronic Publishing
160 North Compo Road
Westport, CT 06880
Once your manuscript is complete and approved for e-publication by our editors, the disk must be converted into a PDF file. This we can do at a cost of $100.00 for up to 400 pages, $25.00 additional for each 100 pages or part thereof. Or, you can deliver it ready to go, in PDF format. The file will remain stored digitally forever, so your book will never go
'out of print'.
Author is responsible for the Copyright and for Cover Art. Once the book is ready, galleys are available and are highly recommended for proofing before the book goes into its final form.
Books are delivered in two ways:
1. Print-on-demand. This method delivers one or multiple copies of a book in trade paperback, or in hardcover.
2. Via electronic reader (e-book), which is a hand-held device, about the size of a large Palm Pilot which can contain as many as ten books, which are downloaded for a fee and installed in the reader.
Electronic Promotion
All authors who publish with us will be shown how to promote their books via the Internet. This takes time and those with the most time to spend, and the most dedication to the project will be able to sell many, many copies of their books. Remember, the Internet is the greatest selling tool the world has ever known and every one out there is a potential buyer: millions and millions of people.
Production of books is fast and the turn-around time is usually within 48-72 hours
after you return the proofs of your
book in final form. Your books can be sold and delivered anywhere in the world.
Costs
Each title in the Hutton Electronic Publishing library carries initial one-time set up fees which are detailed below. Also quoted
is the net cost per volume, and the author determines the royalty or markup. It is our suggestion that originally you quote a low markup, then, as you become more popular as an author, gradually increase your profit margin. You want to build up a following of readers for your work. What better way than getting them to like your books at a reasonable cost, then raising that cost gradually as more of your books are published?
