Booktrope Acceptance

“An important business venture may soon develop for you.”

It looks like this year will be very busy for me! I recently got a manuscript (it’s YA with intergenerational drama, like The 228 Legacy—but with paranormal elements) accepted by Booktrope.

Booktrope is a company looking to revolutionize the book industry by using team publishing. Here’s an overview of how the system works:

First readers look through all submitted materials and serve as gatekeepers (if selected, the author can then sign an agreement with the publisher)
The author builds her own team, comprised of:

-Project manager (assists with building team and meeting deadlines)

-Book manager (helps with book marketing and amplifying author’s voice)

-Editor (provides structural and line editing)

-Cover Designer (makes a stellar visual exterior)

-Proofreader (offers feedback on last-minute writing errors)
All members of the team share in the profits, giving everyone involved an incentive to promote the book

I’m in the second phase now, where I’m building my team. I have the editor on board, but now it’s time to find the rest of my tribe!
