If that fails, you can also email us at [email protected] with the subject title “Fantasy Novel Submission”. Please attached a few chapters of your work, and let us know if the work is completed or in progress. From there, we will send you a writers’ agreement with all fees and royalty details to consider. If approved by all parties, we will then start the preparation and publishing processes.

Please note that we are only accepting fantasy novel submissions during the month of July, and the end date is 31 July 2023 for final considerations. If we don’t sign an agreement by this time, we won’t be accepting the book for publication.

Publishing Fees and Royalties

Before you participate in the fantasy novel submissions, you probably want to know what the fee and royalty structure look like. The days of traditional publishing are almost past us, as not many new publishing companies can afford the costs involved in the process. And as many know, time is money. In order to acquire our publishing services, we need to have a fee structure in place.

At Celenic Earth Publications, we believe in transparency and providing authors with a clear understanding of our publishing process and financial arrangements for fantasy novel submissions. We operate under a model that aims to support and invest in the success of our authors.

Upon acceptance of fantasy novel submissions, we request an upfront payment that covers the initial services required to bring your book to life. These services may include professional editing, formatting, typesetting, distribution channel setup, ISBN number allocation, and more. We view these services as crucial investments in ensuring the quality and market readiness of your book.

Following the publishing process, we are committed to offering our authors a generous royalty structure. Authors receive 70% of the royalties generated from book sales, while we retain 30% to cover marketing services, paid advertising, and maintaining our various platforms. We strongly believe that your success as an author is our success as a publishing house, and by sharing in the financial returns, we align our interests and work collaboratively to promote your work to the widest possible audience.

It is important to note that the upfront payment and subsequent royalty split for fantasy novel submissions are designed to strike a balance between providing high-quality publishing services and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our publishing endeavours. We are dedicated to investing resources into the marketing and promotion of your book, leveraging our platforms, connections, and expertise to maximize its visibility and reach.

We encourage you to view the upfront payment as an investment in your publishing journey, as it allows us to allocate the necessary resources to position your book for success. The 70% royalty rate demonstrates our commitment to your financial success as an author, as we actively work to promote and sell your book through our marketing efforts.

We value transparency and open communication, and we are more than happy to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding publishing fees, royalties, or our overall publishing process. Our goal is to create a collaborative and mutually beneficial partnership with our authors, enabling us to share the joy of bringing remarkable stories to readers around the world.
