Questions ?
Be of legal age and be the author of a personal, original and literary work, having NEVER been published. We do not (anymore) accept authors who wish to republish a work that they have already published elsewhere. The publication is subject to acceptance by our reading committee, for the relevance of the work and its originality. We refuse many authors who do not fit our catalog.
We accept works in the following languages: French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese.
If your project catches our attention, and we see commercial significance or the relevance of its publication in one of the publication languages in our catalog, we will also offer you a translation contract which will be carried out by our teams, free of charge.
We are connected to the DILICOM (France), DILVE (Spain and LATAM) and INGRAM database for the rest of the world, which references all French publishing houses, and connects them to all booksellers in France and around the world. Once the book has been referenced, any bookseller connected to the DILICOM database can find your title via its ISBN and order it. DILICOM has agreements with other bases, such as Electre for example. We are also linked directly with DECITRE, FNAC, AMAZON for online or international orders. To date, we are available in more than 18,000 points of sale around the world.
Our pay rate is 8% for paper books and 20% for digital.
Why is this rate low on paper? Booksellers take a commission of between 30 and 40% on sales, distribution 20% and distribution 15%, manufacturing is around 10 to 15%. There remains 10% to be distributed, 8% goes to the author and 2% to the publishing house to continue financing your project. The shipping costs of your book between our distributors and the booksellers are the responsibility of the bookseller or the customer up to 50%.
Why only 20% on digital? Digital also goes through the book chain: 40% bookseller discount, 10% for distribution, 10% for distribution. Of the remaining 40%, 20% goes to the author and the remaining 20% finances the publishing house and compensates for the loss on the paper edition, and charges and other related costs.
For authors wanting higher remuneration, you will have to opt for self-publishing. This service is not offered by us.
No ! For the simple reason that we cannot force booksellers to stock your book. We do our best with our Distributor and Diffuser so that your title is referenced and visible (catalogue, promotion, campaign, placement), but as an author you must also activate your network and promote your book and the tour booksellers to promote your work. It happens that a bookseller refuses to take the order for your title, in this case contact us, or redirect your reader to our site in the partner booksellers section or to our online catalog.
Every month, we update the list of booksellers who order our titles from our distributors. This allows our authors and readers to easily identify bookstores that can provide them with the title of their choice.
Every first Wednesday of the month, our reading committee meets to review new project submissions and provide feedback. You must therefore allow between 2 and 4 months from the date of submission of your request to receive a response. This deadline may be more or less short depending on the requests and the workload of our teams. Then, once your contract is signed, it will take between 3 and 9 months to finalize all the steps before the final publication of your book. We have already carried out editorial projects over shorter deadlines of around 1 to 3 months. It depends on many factors, including the complexity of the project, the correction/validation stages and the editing. Each project is unique, which is why we do everything we can to study it and communicate with you.
No ! Since the overhaul of our range in 2021, we have offered books with color illustrations depending on the project. So it depends on the project and the relevance of the use of color.
