Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What kind of books do you publish?
A. We publish all genres except for Childrens books. Also, your title must be perfect bound (paperback or hardcover).

Q. How do I started?
A. Please call 877-328-2202. One of our account reps will get you signed up and request a copy of your manuscript. We will begin the production of your book and should have a draft copy within 6 weeks.

Q. How long will it take to finish my book?
A. We strive to have all books completed and in print within 90 days. Each book includes one revision; additional revisions will increase the cost and time to market for your book. We utilize the latest in print on demand technology, allowing us to get your book in stores very quickly.

Q. Can I use images in my book?
A. Yes, but keep in mind images cost more to produce. If you have too many images, this could make your book cost more to print than the cover price. We suggest including images only if they add value to the book and the cover price can support it.

Q. What happens if I need to make changes to my book after it is printed?
A. We will work very closely with you in order to avoid that from happening. You recieve on free revision on the book cover and internal design. However, if you decide you want to proceed with a change, you will be reponsible for all production and graphic costs incurred (200-500$).

Q. Who owns the rights to my book?
A. You retain all rights to your book. We simply manage the distribution and sales for you.

Q. Can I buy copies of my book and sell them on my own?
A. Yes. We offer substantial author discounts and encourage you to purchase books to sell at book signings and appearances.

Q. Will I get a book tour?
A. As an author once said, being an author is 5% writing and 95% promoting your book. Once your book has been published, your work is not over - in fact, its just beginning! Panacea does not sponsor book tours and the marketing of your book is not included in your 999$price. You are responsible for the promotion and marketing of your book. We reccomend purchasing our marketing plan to help you get started with a publicity and marketing plan.

Q. How much are my royalties?
A. We paya generous 20% on book sales, net 60 days. This is substancially higher than most publishing companies. On books we sell directly we pay 25%. We can support this through our low overhead. You will recieve a detailed sales report and royalties at the end of every month.

Q. Do you accept credit cards?
A. Yes, MasterCard and Visa. We also accept Paypal.

Q. What if I have a question that is not answered here?
A. Please send an email to sales@panaceabooks.com. We will be more than happy to answer your questions.
