Self-Publishing

Self-Publishing Invitation

We invite self-publishing authors who are advancing and employing ethical critical thinking in their writings, implicitly or explicitly, to publish with us.  We publish books in both print and digital format, and we hope that sustaining the earth is as important to you as it is to us.

 

We accept books in the following categories:

 

  • Textbooks.

  • Social critique, including: critical theory, critique focused on the rights of ethnic minorities, women’s rights, gender rights, and rights of the disabled or differently-abled.

  • Critique of thinking in any field of study or profession.

  • Books (fiction or nonfiction) that illuminate critical thinking or the lack of it in any part of human life (e.g., books on environmental destruction, the loss of democracy, the problem of nuclear weapons, the stereotyping of people throughout societies, etc., and what can be done about it).

  • Children’s books that depict critical thinking in one or more forms.

 

We accept book manuscripts that have completed the proofreading stage and are ready for layout and design, as well as those that need editing and proofreading prior to book production. We have a team of world-class graphic designers and editors who can work with you to create the book you envision. We reserve the right to reject any book when we deem its subject or quality not to match our standards for publishing.

Details of Our Self-Publishing Process

Author royalties are largely determined by your book’s pricing.  After meeting with you and gathering all the relevant details on your project, we will advise you on pricing for your book and inform you of royalties according to your specific project.

Royalties from your print books vary according to their pricing. We will work with you in pricing your printed book to achieve 12% - 20% royalties for you wherever possible. We reserve the right to set all final book pricing. Once the parameters for your book are set and pricing for the print version determined, the royalty percentage will be decided. We do not use complicated formulas for determining royalties for printed books, as do many self-publishers.

 

We pay authors 50% of digital sales prices as royalties.
