Trevor's Advice:
Presentation Matters.
For example, no editor will read a handwritten manuscript. If your material is submitted in the most appropriate format a publisher will be more inclined to give attention to it. For more information please read the Libros guidelines for submission.
Review you work
You’ve just finished you manuscript and now, understandably, you want to submit it to as many people as possible in the hope of getting it published. Many writers send their manuscripts in a ‘raw’ state, fresh of the printer. Do not send your manuscript to a publisher until it is ready to be seen as it could ruin your chances. Be confident that your work is as good as it can be.
Trevor Dalton - Author Liaison
A chance meeting in a gym one early morning in March 2006 founded the
company now known as Libros International. Trevor Dalton was about to have
his first novel published when he began to discuss the publishing world with
a man next to him on an exercise bike.
After a period of discussion between the droplets of sweat, the man (Ken
Douglas) suggested the crazy notion that he tear up his publishing contract
with his American friends and instead form a publishing company between
them.
"You're crazy," he exclaimed, "thirty years I've waited for a publishing contract, now you want me to tear it up?" Much discussion followed, The gym session finished, Trevor went to work , and at 11.59 that same evening, he tore up the contract he had waited his whole life for. He picked up the telephone before breakfast the next morning and said, "Ken... we need to talk."
