'quoth the raven: Never More' - Edgar Alan Poe

Welcome to Australia's newest (at present) publishing house.
However, you won't see paperback novels flying out the door at our shop - today, it's mostly all done electronically, your work edited and turned into a cd; or downloaded directly from our site.
We cater for the novelist who has never been in print before, and hopefully, in future, for novelists who have been in print with us, liked our service, and returned with another creation for our shelves.
Our shelves are intended to be lined with the following genres:

• Horror


• Gothic


• Historical works of fiction


• Erotica, or erotica which strays into one of the above genres.


• Dramatical works

We do NOT like erotica just for erotica's sake; the eroticism in your work must fit with the storyline, form part of the plot, and be acceptable to the more broadminded reader.

At NeverMore, erotica falls into one of three levels:

Warm: No further foolin' about than hugging and kissing, no four-letter words;

Simmering: body-parts mentioned obliquely or using similes for the actual word, mild language allowed;

Hot: body-parts specifically mentioned, four-letter words allowed, but let's not go crazy with them, folks

NO under-age sex, NO bestiality or S&M.

We like your work laid out in the following format:

• Times New Roman twelve-point;


• single-line spacing, except for chapter headings, which should be separated by two line feeds; changes in scene should also be separated from the previous scene by two line feeds


• be up to 150,000 words long, and


• begin with a title page containing the title of the novel, author's name or pen-name, word length, and your actual name, address, and email and phone number, including your mobile number if you own one.


• you can also include, as the next page of your manuscript after the title page, a design for your cover;
• each page should have a header bearing: the author's name at the top left, the name of the novel in the top middle, and the page number in the top right.

We will supply your ISBN number, so no need to worry about that little matter - and we will register your novel with the authority responsible for keeping such records. What will we charge for turning your months or years of work into an e-book that can be sold online, in disk or ready-to-read format?
• $15.00 AUD for the work involved in converting to book-form


• 20% of whatever sales you make online for the life of the ebook

The rest is yours, to do with as you please. WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR NOR DEMAND ANOTHER CENT FROM YOU. We at NeverMore think this is the fairest and most reasonable deal ever offered - if you can find a better one, take it.

So now you have the choice: go ahead and submit your manuscript to us, in .doc format, laid out as requested, and we will do the rest for you, including displaying your book on our shop page. We will also be negotiating with overseas ebook retailers such as Amazon.com to have your work carried by them, so your ebook will get the widest possible coverage.
