Purpose of the Pub
Here at Cool River Pub, we seek three things:
- To produce high quality books, at a low price, for those new voices who have something to say. We want authors who have no platform, but do have a compelling story and/or an important payload to deliver. If you can break our heart, blind us with insight, or make us laugh till we cough up organs, we want to talk to you.
- To provide important, but hidden, books to readers. Some are Cool River Pub books; most are not. But, all of them carry valuable, timely, and undiscovered treasure.
- To serve good words to our customers. Words are seeds; when they fall into the human heart, they grow and produce new life. So, if we serve any column, essay, blog, or book in Cool River Pub, it is because we take the author and the customer very seriously. We love, respect, and listen to people who deliver good seed. And, we’d rather make a friend than make a dollar. NOTE: “Books” can be paper, electronic, or audio.
-
Send a book proposal to us with your contact info.
No, we don’t have a format. But, you should submit 2 chapters and your proposal should tell us the key points, such as: title, summary, length, audience and possible endorsers.
-
We will respond within 10 days (usually less).
We will ask probing questions. After that, we may invite you to publish with us. If we want you, we will give the financial details of the project. This may be the beginning–or the end–of the road for you or us.
-
Reading and signing the small print.
We will give you a contract. You can ask any question. Challenge anything. Walk away. This is an offer you can refuse. If or when you agree, you will join Cool River Pub as one of our amazing authors.
