How To Publish With Parresia Publishers by Divepen1(m): 9:20am On Nov 17, 2017
Parresia Publishers is one of the new TradoPublishing houses that have stepped out of the norm of regular printing presses and publishing houses, and have made books fun for readers. They publish strictly publish five fictions per year. Some of their authors include Ifesinachi O. Okpagu, Author of 'The Domestication of Munachi'; Molara Wood, Author of 'Indigo'; Helon Habila, Author of 'TheChibokGirls'.
Although many people are desirous to know how to publish their books with them, they don't know how to go about it. This post would enlighten you on how to do that.
1. Read Their Books: Not necessarily all. Try to read their works. If you can get your hands on the summaries of their books, do that also. It would give you a chance to know if your book can be published with them.
2. Your synopsis: Send Synopsis not blurb or Teaser: Synopsis is what the editors read after they have read some parts of your novel. The synopsis gives them details on the main theme, a major character, and the major conflict.
Whereas, a teaser is just to catch the readers’ attention. For example:
The Enchanted Swans by Christy Nicholas
Fionnuala must care for her three brothers while learning to live under an evil curse. Will she find a way to break the spell, or will they remain swans, tethered to three places for nine hundred years?
Meanwhile, Blurbs are quotes from other people about your book.
Parresia Publisher would only accept a synopsis, and ensure it is not more than a page ( Why will it be more than a page, are you writing another novel).
3.Send an Excerpt: Along with the synopsis, send the first 3 chapters of your work in a word document.
4. Format Your Work: Use the following format for any work you want to send to them;
Double spacing
justify to the left.
5. Author's Biography: Be concise.
6. Send it to editor@parresia.com.ng
7. Now, wait for like 6 weeks to get a reply. Another chance to write another great book.
Have any issue, let's hear from you.
