What Books Qualify:

We love all kinds of romance books, and if your book meets these qualifications, we want to see it!  Submissions must meet the following guidelines:

• The manuscript must be 10,000 words or more.
• Only the rightful owner (i.e. author or publisher of the print version) of the work may submit it.
• The book must be relatively error free. PublicBookshelf will not edit your work; but, we do a general review to ensure the content is reasonably grammatically correct, makes sense and is optimized for onlin use.
• The content must abide by the Terms of Use. This means your book may not include unlawful content, including defamation, abuse, harassment, stalking, threats, or otherwise violate the legal rights of others.
• Does not include excessive profanity or violence.
• Does not include pornography or erotic content.

How Submission and Publication Works:

• You register as an author and upload your manuscript.
• The PublicBookshelf staff will review your manuscript and either offer you a publishing contract or reject your manuscript.
• Our publishing contract does not require an exclusive. You are welcome to pursue other ebook and printed book contracts.
• Once you note your approval of the contract, we publish your book on PublicBookshelf.
• We promote your book by directing the search engines and our readers to your pages. Readers can come and read or browse the book, find out more information about it including links to where they can purchase your book on the Internet.
• We run contextual ads adjacent to your book.
