​​

​​
A: Unfortunately, no. You may only submit your article one time. We have to enforce this strictly to keep things running smoothly.

But you can't resubmit after you have submitted your work.

A: We do not allow footnotes and endnotes. ​

A: Yes! Your paperback books will cost you approximately $7.50-$9.00 each when you order at wholesale. You may then sell your paperback copies at any price-point you wish, usually between $16.00 and $18.00. Many of our authors make the majority of their profits this way.
​​
​
