Publishing
We’re proud of our eclectic range of titles at OWN IT! Publishing and all the wonderful authors we’ve worked with, from debut novelists to New York Times bestsellers. We’re excited by both genre-bending and formally experimental writers, and those who play within the confines of traditional genre.
As a press, we have a unique business model. We believe in creative partnership, so all OWN IT! authors receive a 50% share of the net profits of their books.
We run an open submissions inbox for authors looking to publish with us. You can find the guidelines of how to submit here.
For agents who are looking to pitch authors to us, please email us at [email protected].
