Question 7

Do I need to obtain a copyright of my book before submitting to Prize Publishing House?

Accepted Answer

That will be a NO!
 
Upon publication, a copy of your book will be filed in your name with the Register of Copyrights to obtain a Certificate of Registration of Copyright. The copyright will be registered in your name, not Prize Publishing House. 
 
Manuscripts and unpublished works are protected by common law and statutory law from the point of creation. There is no need to obtain a formal copyright registration before submission to Prize Publishing House.

Question 8

How much money will I make? What is my royalty percentage?

Accepted Answer

You should publish with Prize Publishing House because you want to see your work in print, not because of expectation of sales.  
 
Please note that royalties are paid to you on all sales of your Work EXCEPT: (a) sales of used copies of the Work; (b) sales of the Work to yourself; and (c) copies of the Work given to any person or entity (e.g. the media) free of charge.
 
Prize Publishing House gives authors a royalty rate of 100% through our distribution channels for print formats. Royalties are based on the payments we actually receive from the sale of printed copies of your book, less any shipping and handling charges or sales and use taxes. Also, we offer discounts to retail and wholesale customers, so the royalty amount you receive depends on what type of customer (i.e. retail or wholesale) bought your book and any discount they received.

Question 9

Do you offer printing services for books that are currently published?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, Prize Publishing House does not offer this service.  Only books published directly through Prize Publishing House are made available for printing.

Question 10

How long does it take to publish my book?

Accepted Answer

We can publish our authors within 90 days. You will be asked to review and approve files we send you throughout our process. Our 90-day guarantee is based on active author participation and average complexity. If your book is highly complex, or if you require multiple rounds of content edits, the timeline may be longer.

Question 11

How many rounds of editing do I get?

Accepted Answer

We provide no more than two rounds of editing. If more edits are required that are not at the fault of Prize Publishing House, additional editing fees will be assessed.

Question 12

Do I need to have Microsoft Word in order to use your editorial services?

Accepted Answer

Our editors work exclusively with Microsoft Word’s tracked changes feature, so you’ll need to have Microsoft Word or compatible software to incorporate our team’s suggested edits.

Question 13

What is the cover design process?

Accepted Answer

First, we ask for your vision. You can provide as little or as much input as you like! Our cover designers are extremely talented and are often able to take ideas and run with them.
 
Next, your designer creates one cover mockup. You are entitled to two cover edits. If you want to make modifications after your book has been published, the changes will be subject to a cover edit fee.
 
Note, although our designers are very talented, they aren’t magicians, so there could be limitations for extremely specific requests.

Please send images in JPG, TIFF, or PNG format at 300 DPI or higher.

You do. Authors set their book's price, description, keywords, genre, etc.

Question 16

Can you make my book sell?

Accepted Answer
