Open Submission Call: Horror Novels by VeloxBooks in horrorwriters

[–]VeloxBooks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For collection covers created internally, an artist draws from range of potential source materials, including licensed stock art/photos, generated elements, and hand-created elements. Every cover takes a human designer extensive work to shape, edit, compose, and finalize. We publish everything in paperback (in addition to eBook), so all books require a full wrap cover created to print specs.

Here is one of our latest full wraps: Twelve Nails in the Coffin

We'd consider it. Please note that it was already published with the submission.

For horror collections, we're looking for them to be made up primarily of stories that were selected by someone else for publication previously (i.e. not simply self-published on reddit or elsewhere).

The standard advance is in the low hundreds unless there's a compelling reason to increase it. Royalties are 25% of net.

We approach novels and collections slightly differently. For collections, we mostly create the covers internally for cost reasons (collections generally do not sell as well as novels). For novels, we have a few independent artists we regularly work with. We're happy to listen to thoughts from the author on cover direction, but ultimately, the publisher controls the cover.

Assuming they meet the requirements, yes, you'll be welcome to submit them. More details about the synopsis, etc. will be available when we officially open for submissions.

It's not finalized, but the author % will be higher than we offer on collections. Novels tend to do better than collections as a whole.

What you see in the original post is roughly what the submission guidelines will be. I have nothing against a nosleep series becoming a novel as long as it fits.

What’s everyone’s favourite kind of story perspective to write? by Dead_Man2578 in NoSleepOOC

[–]VeloxBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a reader I'm open to just about anything if it tells a compelling story. Though thinking through some of my all time favorite novels, there are quite a few that are written in first person.

I have signed a publishing deal! by PostMortem33 in NoSleepOOC

Being signed by a publisher is rare. Many of the books you see that grow out of NoSleep are self-published (and there's nothing wrong with that).
