What We Need From You for Author Consideration

This is a proprietary document of WildBlue Press. It is not to be disclosed or

reproduced without prior written permission of WildBlue Press.

Please complete the following info and we’ll be in touch soon to discuss your publishing your book(s) with WildBlue Press. When complete, fill out the form at the bottom of our Interested Authors page and attach this document. If you have multiple documents then zip them up and attach the zip file.

Very important:

All famous authors wrote their first book without a legacy of bestsellers. We simply want to know more about you and what book(s) you are proposing to see if it is a good fit for both of us. We need to know how we can position your books out there in the market, so everything that you can tell us to assist us in this effort is greatly appreciated. We’re not just looking for authors with a history of bestsellers. We’re looking for authors with a passion for writing stories that resonate with their audience.

Thank you very much for your time in providing quality information, and your consideration in working with us at WildBlue Press.

How did you hear about us?

For every title you are submitting, list the genre(s) for each of them, word count, and whether they are original or previously published (backlist). As a general rule, a true crime book should be in the 70,000-80000 range and fiction around 100,000. This is in the best interest of making sales. Next, provide a short description for each one. If it is a backlist title, then mention the status of the backlist rights. If it has been previously published by a different publisher, then we will need a reversion of rights letter from that publisher, or we will not be able to publish it.

Provide some indication of the popularity of the backlist titles you are submitting. For example “sold well in Amazon clean romance for 3 months”, “audiobook did three times the sales of the other formats”, or “sold 5,000 copies of combined eBook and paperback”.

Writing related awards of recognition you have received, NY Times, USA Today, Amazon …:
