FAQs

Do you accept manuscripts? - updated 29/11/2018

No - not for in-house authors.  ELK Publishing is still in the fledgling stage. It will focus on developing its initial line of educational products and children's literature produced by our in-house authors. 

HOWEVER...

At given times throughout the year, we accept manuscripts from authors who would like to be represented by ELK Publishing.  Please check back for updates on this.

We do not offer upfront advances or royalties for manuscripts, but will help you:

• Put your work together - from editing to book cover design;
• Publishing, PR, interview and book review; 
• Get the word out; will promote your book on elk-publishing.com and on an array of reliable online websites, libraries etc.  
• Set up book tours, book launches and signings.  
• Place your book with major book fairs to get you noticed and your book on shelves, across the globe.  

             Think of us as a semi- manager with all the advantages of being attached to a publishing house.
