Submission Guidelines Books/eBooks

Since our last commercial book was printed in 1994, we occasionally publish authors online and/or in print on a non-profit basis. Ten years in business turned into a hobby. Fully aware that publishing a manuscript on the Internet will never replace beautifully printed and bound copies, we do both, where eBooks serve as an aid to generate interest, thus complementing a print publication.

Authors who feel at home within our site are invited to submit a synopsis to editors@gangan.com together with a brief bibliography. Please check file formats with us before submitting a manuscript. When needed, we can provide professional editing, translation, design and production services.

Please note that we do not accept material previously published online, as duplicates don’t make sense. However, material first published in print is OK, as long as the publisher consents. We will cite print publication details and expect in return on later publications of your work a citation like “First published online on gangan.com.” We install “print run” counters on each book to analyse readers’ interest.

With your submission you grant gangan.com the non-exclusive right of communication to the public, all rights remain with you. See also copyright. As gangan.com operates non-profit, publication is royalty free and free on its own Website only. If this exposure leads to a print contract, we would receive a 10% commission of the royalties paid to you as your literary agent.

However, if your work would be used in its digital form on media like CD-ROM for sale by a commercial publisher we reserve the right to negotiate a fair fee for our efforts.
