Easy Registration, Payment & Showcase access Guide is detailed within text below

As a publisher looking for the next best seller, you have just neatly sidestepped the almost insurmountable pile of unsolicited material that daily floods into your office.

You will now be able to search for a manuscript or proposal showcased by an author located globally, using a generic industry Proposal Template methodology that will quickly allow you to view and assess their intellectual property catalogued within the genre profile of your strategic requirement, and be able to do so in an instant.

Sifting through that pile of manuscripts currently cluttering your desk, can, as you have always experienced, be packed with frustration and cost your company many thousands of dollars per annum in busting the clutter in search of that one script that really has the potential to be your next best seller. But before being able to grasp it, you have to spend time and thousands of hours replying to countless submissions in order to maintain your branding and goodwill within the greater literary community.

But now, for an annual Search Membership of only US$5600, (currently reduced by 25% to US$4200 per annum as a full genre matrix membership through a special limited promotion, so act fast), the author's project is literally catalogued in a neat and uniformed presentation that can quickly and easily be assessed in terms of your strategic objectives. So AuthorForSale.com eases a publisher's path to their next best seller, and this is a radical shift in meeting the needs of both parties.

The Proposal Template the author will be provided to showcase their project listing, as detailed below, is considered an accepted industry standard and will allow you as a publisher to quickly get to grips with the proposed literary idea, a work-in-progress currently being undertaken, or it will indicate that their manuscript is now completed, correctly formatted, edited and ready to go.

Note: The author is assured that only they can regularly update or access their own showcase via a Login and are denied access to other showcases, so confidentiality is assured in the same way that you traditionally handle receipt of such a large volume of sensitive intellectual property or creative ideas and material arriving at your office.

Further, the author is prompted by the system to Refresh their showcase every 90 days, so when you find a level of interest, you know it's current and not dead wood.

Finally, the beauty is there are no SSAE or manuscripts to manually reply to. This aspect alone will save the industry millions in searching for literary talent.

Author For Sale Publishing Project Proposal / Showcase Template

An author may choose 2 separate Genres if required where their title may be listed in terms of broader showcasing, and within each genre chosen, up to 6 categories can be selected to profile and tightly catalogue the work for publisher search function access.

Note 1: Once selected, the title cannot be altered in either the primary or secondary genre. All other elements of the showcase may be updated through their Login.

Importantly, the author is prompted every 90 days to Refresh their listing and ensuring the publisher is searching within current and most likely recently updated showcases.

Note 2: In all cases the Author must nominate and Word Length Category in their coding, even if their Showcase is a photographic album, say, with little text as such, but the author must profile the approximate SIZE of the work in word-length terms so the publisher can appreciate the size extent of the content within it if published etc
