When will you be accepting author submissions?
Not as soon as we’d like. Since we’re just getting started as authors, ourselves, we need time to grow not only our backlist, but our influence and knowledge. We want our future authors to succeed, so we need to learn how to succeed first.
What is a publishing imprint?
In a nutshell, a publishing imprint is an official name an author can self-publish their books under to make them look “legit.” Many readers tend to shy away from self-published works. At our starting point, this is what Aephris Media is for us.
Do I have to pay to publish under Aephris Media?
Authors should never pay a publisher to publish their books. We do not intend to become a vanity press. Authors work hard for every word they put to paper and deserve better than that.
If an Author publishes under Aephris Media, do they have to publish all of their subsequent books under the imprint, or can they still self publish?
We intend only to contract what the author is comfortable with. If you want to publish a single book with us, then decide to self-publish the rest later, only the individual contracted book(s) would remain with us until the contract period is over. After that, you are free to self-publish them all, or renew your contract if you wish.
Aside from Authors and Cover artists, does Aephris Media plan to employ digital marketers and content creators?
Yes! Marketing is essential to success, and success for our authors is success for us! If you’re interested in employment with Aephris Media, keep an eye out for future updates. We’ll be looking for a variety of talent!
