AUTHORS! This is your Template Page. Copy it to your system and use any html editor to create a new Author's listing, or to update your old listing. Please feel free to change any attributes of this page you want -- especially background color, fonts, layout, or nature of the presentation. Alternatively, use your own layout instead of this one. If you have a logo or a company logo, substitute it for ours on your page. This page is your chance to tell all Publishers about your special talents, and what you are planning to do. Unlike other sites, we do not limit you in any way, or require you to only list published or in-prep works. So take a bit of "author license" and tell the Publishers about your interests, desires, aspirations and future works!

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT AUTHOR

Author's Name: Corporate Affiliations: Scope of Publications: Fields of Specialization: General Contact Info:

Give your name and any published pen names or corporate names you use. Explain if you write and publish for an organization, corporation, or who you are affiliated with as an author (not necessarily who you work for day-to-day). List the scope of your publications and fields you publish in, in very general terms (e;g; science, literature, fiction, etc.), as well as fields you are getting into. List the fields you specialize in, or have specialized in, or would like to specialize in for upcoming publications (e.g. archeology, true crime, travel, gardening, etc.) List contact information for Publishers to reach you. Remember, a lot of them don't like e-mail, and e-mail names often disappear. This may be the most crucial piece of information they rely on -- so give them a permanent contact!

DO NOT put any part of your works on our site -- only talk about them. Specify your general terms and if you have any special requirements -- advance payments, royalties, do you prefer a buyout, consignment. etc? Are there any special author rights and percentages? Remember there are no agent fees in any transactions via our site, so you can give publishers a better deal than if you have to pay agent commissions. If you don't know what to say, just say "flexible", but get an attorney before you sign the contract. For any in prep. works, give your take on what methods you think will promote the book, what the work's circulation might be, its primary readership, and scope. If there are any special timing considerations on in prep. works, list them here.

DETAILED INFORMATION ON PLANNED AND FUTURE WORKS OR IDEAS

Be Creative and Original:

This may be the only site on the Iinternet where you will get a chance to share you future plans and ideas with Publishers. Write this section very carefully. Do NOT post anything on our site that will give away proprietary ideas about your future MSs or works to anyone else (remember, other authors will be reading these submissions too!).  Rather, give the Publisher a very upbeat presentation of your interests and talents in certain fields -- what you know that others don't, and what you can do that others can't -- give them your best sales pitch. If they like what you say here, and how you present yourself, there is a very good chance that a perceptive publisher will zap up your next work before you even get a chance to start it! Do careful thinking before you finish this section.

Links to Your Site(s):

If you have any sites where either you or your published works are presented, list them here, with links that the publisher can merely click on to go to that site. If you don't know how to do it, just put the text you want to be the link in quotes, and in [square brackets after that text, put the internet address]. We will fix it for you. e.g.: To see my latest book on medicine, "click here" [www.medlink.com/medbook.html]. FINALLY, ADD ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT THAT WILL HELP SELL YOUR WORKS.  SAY ONLY WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH AND LIVE WITH!
