| You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist. - Isaac Asimov |

..... We are a co-op publisher which means we are the middle ground between
traditional publishers and self-publishing companies. Self-publishing companies,
also known as vanity publishers, will publish any book as long as the person pays
the required fee which is usually astronomical. The reason they charge so much
is that they don't expect their authors to sell many books and therefore they make
the money up front.
.....Here is how we work: Once we receive a submission and have decided to offer
to represent a book, we decide on how much work the book will need to get it to
market, i.e., editing, proofreading, illustrations, designing the interior and cover
files for the press and listing it with all of our distribution partners.

.....This cost will vary but rest assured it will still be less than what self-publishing
companies will charge. Then we split the cost with the author because we fully
intend to make it up with book sales.
.....If an author wants to publish another book, once their first book has proven it
will sell, costs will come down even further for your future publishing needs
.....We will set a retail price for your book and a wholesale distribution price. All the
books we sell are at the wholesale price and royalties are the difference in the
wholesale price and the printing cost for your book.

.....We only sell at the wholesale price. You may order books anytime you want for
the printing cost plus S&H and sell them for the retail price or at a discounted price
if you wish.
.....The thing to know about Mirror Publishing is that we are a small company and
you will not be just a file number with us. We work with our authors everyday to
help get them in as many book stores as we can. Our current authors are also
available to help you in any way they can as well. Please feel free to contact them
with any questions or concerns.
If you have any questions or are ready to get started, please feel free to contact us
via email or telephone.
