In Chapter 4, you got to hear directly from the new acquisitions editor of Rebeca Books, the inestimable Danielle Butler. Well, in true start-up fashion, this episode comes with some surprising news from Danielle, which you get to hear straight from her.

If you want something done right, do it yourself, right? And maybe that is true for some things. For this, though – for building a traditional, royalty-paying publishing line that is for and about women over 40 and for the greater build-out of the parent company, The 1C Story Network – a different approach is warranted. A team approach. A commitment to collaboration, even when the relationship needs to evolve into a new form.

If you wish to have your work considered for publication by Rebeca Books, please follow the instructions for submission at https://rebecabooks.com or with the instructions below.

We accept submissions from both authors and agents. To submit your work for acquisition, please email us a book proposal containing five sections:

1. Book Summary (1 page or less)
2. Author Bio (1 page or less, you're welcome to include a photo)
3. Similar Works (name 3-5 other books/authors that are like yours/you, and tell us how yours/you are different)
4. Reach Analysis (give us an overview of your relationships and presence in the world, which enables us to see how we can alert others to your book's launch)
5. Sample Writing (1-3 chapters of the work you're pitching)

Submissions that do not contain these five elements will not be considered. (Sorry! We love ya, but we really need you to follow directions for this relationship to start off on the right foot.)
