    When you have a finished book proposal (in digital format) and you're ready to post your manuscript for agents and publishers, you're ready to fill out our Membership Form. It helps if you have already read the Frequently Asked Questions page so you know the appropriate categories in which to list your manuscript.

    WRITE A BETTER PROPOSAL
    Read this! If you read nothing else on our site, PLEASE read this page. We want our members to have the best success possible, and the ONLY way to get noticed is by writing a solid proposal.


    VIEW A SAMPLE PROPOSAL
    We have a sample proposal in our Demo section. It was provided as an example of how some publishers like their manuscripts organized. We also give you a sneak peek of what Agents and Publishers see when they login.


    WHO HAS ACCESS (AND WHO DOES NOT)
    We give access to traditional royalty publishers and literary agents with a proven track record and/or a qualified recommendation. We do not give access to vanity publishers or Print-on-Demand (POD) companies without your consent. View a list of who has access on this page.


    COPYRIGHT YOUR MANUSCRIPT
    Generally, you don't need to worry about intellectual copyrights, but our service does provide Common Law Copyright by establishing a firm "birth date" for your manuscript.


    OUR TERMS OF SERVICE and PRIVACY POLICY
    This is Legal Information about our services, what provide and what we do not provide to writers, agents, and publishers. It also gives detailed information about how we store your information and what we do with the data.
