digitally publishing because i can.
There are a couple of reasons you could want to contact me. Do read the suggestions below before sending me an e-mail at steven.saus@gmail.com. Not only can you find out more at my personal page, but you can also read my blog, ideatrash.
submission.guidelines
If you have questions about our submission guidelines for any of our existing projects, first check that project's page. Typically, I and editors I work with prefer RTF format and standard manuscript format. You will have better luck e-mailing the specific editor for each project unless it's about the business side of things.
If you wish to join Alliteration Ink's mailing list - including news of releases, open calls, and more, send an e-mail to news-join [at] alliterationink.com. You will get a confirmation request that you must answer to join the list.
freelancer.resource
If you wish to be added to the resource guide, use the form. Other questions may be directed at me.
financial.questions
Because I'm tweaking things from project to project, there is no standard contract or percentage. (Addendum: I do have a base contract for anthologies and a base contract for distribution that I start from.) Typically, I ask for Exclusive First World and non-exclusive anthology rights. I don't ask for rights I'm not explicitly planning to use; authors are typically encouraged to exploit other avenues (such as audio rights).
I try to run things with a sustainable mindset. In 2010, I had no start-up capital, have been working it up from there. As things expand, I anticipate being able to give larger advances to authors, but I have no desire to be yet another fly-by-night flash in the pan.
ebook.conversion
E-mail me for quotes and questions after you've read my page on the service.
second.life
My IMs go to e-mail, so send me the IM inworld. Sending a notecard is a BAD way to reach me. You can also e-mail me directly (and sometimes IM via google talk) at uriel.wheeler@gmail.com
