Representation
Your story is complete and now you want to get it into the hands of publishers, which can be a very time-consuming task. Researching publishers that accept your type of manuscript, trying to sort through submission windows, writing query letters, and trying to sell your book’s merits are all steps you will need to complete repeatedly. At Wax Seal Productions, we will review your story to verify if it needs any changes to polish it to make it more appealing to the large-scale publishers and offer advice to help improve your odds of it being chosen.
If we feel confident that your story has what it takes to be picked up by a major player in the industry, we will offer you a representation contract and begin working to get your book into the hands of the appropriate publishing houses. There is no charge for this service. We get paid with a percentage of your completed contract with the publishing house. Should your story not be accepted, we can look into other options for your work, including possible publishing by Wax Seal Productions or self-publishing. Remember, you should never pay in advance for someone to represent your story.

Publishing Under the Wax Seal Productions Banner
Large publishing houses can be great for exposure, however, there are some risks. You can get locked into contracts that you do not understand or are not to your benefit, your book can get lost in amongst the wave of books being produced, or worse yet your book may get placed on a shelf for years or never be actually published. There is a difference between accepting your work and publishing your work. Another risk to working with the big players is the potential loss of control of your story, universe, and creativity. They can lock you into contracts that force you to make changes you do not agree with, all for the sake of their perspective on marketability.
Working with Wax Seal Productions means you are working with a small publisher. We offer fair contracts, allow you to maintain the control of your work and narrative, and will work with you to develop your story for the market in a manner that suits your vision. We will never agree to produce your work and leave it sitting on a shelf. If we believe in your story enough to agree to publish it, we believe it needs to be in the hands of readers, not collecting dust for the potential to be published another day. Contact us today to see if your story fits within the realm of Wax Seal Productions.

Self-Publishing
The term self-published does not carry the same stigma as it did years ago. There was a time when people thought self-published meant you were not good enough to be picked up by a publishing house. No more! Now self-published means you want complete control over your work, your universe, marketing, and do not want to lose a percentage of your royalties. There are many reasons to self-publish, including a quick entry to the market and only being interested in producing that one book that has been burning inside you to get out. Perhaps you want the experience of publishing yourself. Whatever the reason, self-publishing is a completely valid method of getting your story out to the masses. More and more literary competitions and organizations recognize the value of self-published work and allow those authors to join their ranks. All you need to do is attain certain metrics to be accepted.
However, self-publishing is a large task with many fine details that need to be considered, ensuring you are presenting a well formatted and professional book. Work with the team at Wax Seal Productions to for guidance on your self-publishing journey. We will discuss your various options and detail all the little things that must be included in the process and offer guidance on how to promote your book so it has a strong chance at success.
