Five Rivers to launch E-scapes

We're launching a new eBook only imprint, which will

feature short, entertaining
works both fiction and non-fiction, from 20,000 to 80,000 words.



And we're calling the imprint:









The concept is to capture the
commuter and mobile market with quick, easy to read stories, from purely
commercial fiction (romance, SF&F, thriller, horror, historical, suspense,
but most definitely not porn), to self-help, biographies and the eccentric
overview of an arcane subject.






We'll be paying a royalty of
50% on net, to equalize the profit share a little better, paid in our usual
quarterly statements by the 30th of the month following the close of
the calendar quarter.





It goes without saying all
manuscripts will have the scrutiny of one of our brilliant editors.





So, if you have that
manuscript languishing in the bottom drawer because it's too short and
publishers are generally not interested, pitch us a pitch. If you have a
colleague or friend who has that manuscript languishing in the bottom drawer
because it's too short and publishers are generally not interested, have them
pitch us a pitch. Just be sure to put in the subject header of the email,
E-SCAPES.





Format should be:





·        
DOC or RTF format,





·        
Times New Roman 12 pt typeface, double-spaced, 1"
margins. Do not under any circumstances use any of Word's built-in formatting
for chapters, headers, etc. We will only strip it out, and having to do so will
make us cranky. And please set your spelling preference for English Canadian if
at all possible.





·        
Be sure to include your full (real) name, mailing
address, email address, date of birth and SIN in your query letter. Doing so
will make it easier when we offer you a contract and pay you royalties.





Look forward to hearing from
you!
