If your book was originally released by a major publisher with moderate to good sales, UP now offers generous royalties for re-publication rights. No fees of any kind are paid by the author. In the interest of full disclosure, please note that we require written documentation of rights and revenues, and books must fully meet our submission guidelines to qualify.

Some new books may also qualify, especially short nonfiction. To inquire, please send a 10-page excerpt in Word format, 100 word summary and a detailed marketing plan.

For details, please send e-mail to:

We respectfully ask authors not to send entire manuscripts before we review your summary, excerpt and marketing plan.

For new fiction, poetry and books for children, we suggest self-publishing your book at our sister site, where you can test market your book with no setup fees or minimums. Self-published books that demonstrate good public demand may qualify for publication UP.

UP authors receive royalties of at least $1.50 per retail sale. Authors may also obtain copies for their own use (or re-sale) at least 40% to 50% below cover price, lower in bulk. Our policies are designed to reward authors who actively market their books at live events, their own Web sites, and specialty outlets beyond bookstores and libraries.

Upon acceptance, our goal is to produce books that are competitive with those from major publishers in content, appearance and price -- but published at a fraction of the cost of traditional book publishing methods. Following publication, most can remain in distribution for years, in quantities large or small.

The UPside:
start-up costs are minimal;
little economic risk is required;
UP provides top quality technical work;
appearance of books is surprisingly attractive;
most titles can be back in circulation within months;
broad distribution and initial promotion are included!
