In exceptional circumstances, where an author proves to be very popular, and at the sole discretion of the management team at Fiction4All, an author's rate of royalty may be increased to a maximum of 50% for all their future sales across our network of sites. Please note: as an author on our standard rate of royalty, you can earn up to 80% of the cover price by becoming an affiliate and then sending us your own visitors through your affiliate pages. You will be earning 40% for affiliate sales and 40% for being the author of your title(s). You will also get 40% affiliate commission on any other titles they purchase - titles by other authors!

Author guidelines, royalty payment rates and terms
BY SUBMITTING YOUR BOOK TO US FOR PUBLICATION,
YOU ARE DEEMED TO HAVE READ AND AGREED TO
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS LAID OUT IN THIS DOCUMENT.
We welcome manuscript submissions from both new and experienced authors on equal terms.
At FetishWorld Ebooks we will only consider submissions that are stories related to the following genres:
BDSM, MaleDom (M/F or M/M), FemDom (F/F/ or F/M), SadoMasochism, Sex Slave Training, Fetishes
Fetishes covered are:
Domination, Submission, Bondage, Spanking, Slavegirl, Ponygirl, Piercing, Leather, Rubber/Latex, Panties, Feet/Legs, Doctors/Nurses, Uniforms
Suitable stories in these genres will be published on A1AdultEbooks.
For other adult genres please check out our other Imprints at www.epuborg.com.
Regardless of the genre of your adult story,
WE WILL NOT PUBLISH
Any sexual activity involving minors (under 18s) even if they are simply "around"
Any sexual activity involving animals or corpses
Any sexual activities that include Rape, Snuff, Smothering, Scat, Incest
We broadly sell three lengths of novels.
1. Full-length novels (60,000+ words).
2. Mini-novels (30,000 - 40,000 words).
3. Complete short stories (min 5,000 words).
WE DO NOT PUBLISH INCOMPLETE STORIES OR COLLECTIONS THAT
ARE EXTRACTS OR ADVERTS FOR LONGER EDITIONS
DO NOT SEND US STORIES OR ANTHOLOGIES THAT ARE LESS THAN 5,000 WORDS
We will publish your works and provide you with access as an author to online statistics and sales confirmation emails relating to your published titles through our central author suite at www.epuborg.com .
We regularly email our ever-growing list of newsletter subscribers on new publications and also advertise on newsgroups and through other channels to help obtain the best possible sales for all titles. We have also available an RSS Feed of titles published in the past 14 days. An RSS Feed allows people to download the latest information without having to visit our site. It is a free service available on most modern Internet browsers and because the person receiving the feed remains totally anonymous, we consider this to be something of appeal to most adult orientated book readers.
Submissions
AUTHORS must now submit their stories using the facilities provided in the Authors Suite at www.epuborg.com .
Authors new to us must join us as a member and then set up their author profile (pen name and short biography) using the facilities within the Authors Suite. Once a profile has been created an author can use the SUBMIT NEW STORY feature to create a story submission. This procedure will require the author to supply the following information:
Imprint to which the story relates. For FetishWorld Ebooks you will need to select our imprint from the options available.
If appropriate you can select a time period that the story relates top - eg Victorian Era.
A short blurb for the story - this is not a full synopsis but a few hundred words that will be displayed on site to attract interest in your book. This is like the information you would expect to find on the back of a paperback novel.
Any ideas you have for a cover picture - unless you are sending us a picture to use (see below).
Once you have completed the short submissions form you will be given the choice of either emailing us the story or uploading it to our server using the software provided. We require from you the following files:
The full script in Word document (.doc or .docx) format. (Spelling and grammar checked before sending, please.) Avoid adding your name or page numbers, we will add all the legal protection necessary if your novel is accepted. Your manuscript MUST closely follow our layout requirements which are detailed at the end of this section.
Your chosen extract from the story to help sell your title (usually the first chapter or a few hundred words)
If you can do so - we would also ask you to send us a good-quality cover picture (not under copyright) relevant to the story supplied as a jpg. This should be portrait in orientation. If you can't do this - no matter - we will try and find one that is suitable, based on any ideas you include in your submission.
Submissions that do not follow the above procedure and provide all the information requested are unlikely to be considered for publication.
Manuscripts submitted that do not conform reasonably well to our manuscript layout requirements below will not be accepted by us.
It is your responsibility as author to ensure your script follows our guidelines below as closely as possible and that the script has been thoroughly checked for spelling and grammar.
Manuscript Layout Requirements:
Manuscripts must be submitted in Word DOC or Word DOCX format using the Times New Roman font.
Heading page must contain the following three lines:
Title
by
Author NameThe first page of the story and all subsequent Chapters must start on a New Page which has been created using the Insert/Break/PageBreak command and NOT using carriage return/linefeeds.
Check that Chapter Headings are consistent (font and size) throughout the manuscript
Section breaks should be denoted by THREE asterisks centred on the page with no Tab insertions
Paragraph formatting should be zero spaces before and after paragraphs, with first lines indented by at least 1.3 centimetres. Paragraphs should be aligned as justified if your wordprocessor version allows this.
Use of speech marks must be consistent. If your speech uses 'thoughts' in quotes then use double quote marks for real speech and single quotes for 'thoughts'.
Spelling MUST be checked thoroughly as must grammar. Use Word's tools to do this and remove as many errors as you can. Advise us if speech requires certain dialects (eg Deep South drawl) so we can ignore it in our final checking. Such dialects are impossible to spell check!
The Manuscript MUST end with the words THE END, aligned to the centre of the page.
Royalty payment and terms
ROYALTY RATE
We pay the same rates for exclusive and non-exclusive publications!
We pay 40% of the actual sale price in royalties for each copy of the title sold across our network of sites.

Please note: as an author on standard rate of royalty, you can earn up to 80% of the cover price by becoming an affiliate and then sending us your own visitors through your affiliate pages.

COPYRIGHT
Copyright always remains with the author.
PRICING POLICY
Prices of ALL titles published directly by Fiction4All are at the discretion of the editorial team and their decision is final and binding. By submitting a story for publication you are deemed to agree with our decision. We may, at our sole discretion, alter prices up or down at any time to reflect market trends.
We always aim to achieve the highest realistic price for a publication. We often offer a new title with a discount for the first 14 days as this attracts more sales, thus the initial price of a book may be slightly lower than the full list price.
REMOVAL OF PUBLISHED TITLES
Due to the effort required to publish and market a book, we require all titles to be left on our network for at least one year following publication. Where you require a book to be removed within the first year after publication, at our discretion we will charge you $50 for each book removed.
We wish you every success and look forward both to receiving your submission and welcoming you to the team of successful authors.
