Does my manuscript need to be finished to submit?
Your manuscript should be complete before you submit. It also should be reasonably edited (errors and mistakes can hurt chances of acceptance), however, Evora will have all accepted manuscripts professionally edited prior to publication.
Will my manuscript be accepted?
Evora Press does not accept all manuscripts. In fact, we are very selective. We take on the financial risk to edit, format, publish and market our books. We are not a vanity press, and do not accept payments in return for acceptance. Due to the large number of submissions, we can accept only a subset of submissions.
What happens if my manuscript

Congratulations! You will receive a contract to sign, covering the grant of rights, the advance and royalty structure, and the delivery and acceptance of the final manuscript and illustrations. It also outlines editorial control, publication timelines, marketing and promotion expectations, author obligations, term and reversion of rights, subsidiary rights, accounting and payment, and termination or out-of-print clauses.
