Does Spectacle Publishing charge a fee for editing or publication?
No. Spectacle does not charge any fee for proofreading, editing, or publication. All we expect from our writers are strong, polished manuscripts and a passionate attitude about their work.
Does Spectacle Publishing print traditional books as well as eBooks?
We are currently establishing our print and distribution method for hard copies. We hope to have it up and running very soon, so stay tuned for updates!
How do you pay your authors?
Currently, payment for full length novels published with us is through royalties from sales. Short stories for anthologies receive copies of the printed work as well as a chance to win $100. We cannot offer advances at this time, but plan to do so in the future.

What format should I submit my manuscript in? Is RTF okay?
RTF is fine, but we highly recommend submitting your work in a DOC format attached to an email. Please, do not place your work in the body of the email itself. For more information on formatting and submission guidelines, you can visit the Submissions portion of our website http://www.spectaclepmg.com/submissions/
What is your publication schedule?
We are always open for novel submissions of fiction and creative non-fiction. For individual short stories, we will post a call for submissions on the main page of our website when an anthology project is planned. So, check back often.

What should I put in my query?
Queries can be tricky, but what we’re mainly looking for is a brief summary of the work, a short writer’s biography, an outline of what you plan for the work in question, and the first three chapters of the manuscript. If you’re still unsure about query formatting, there are plenty of resources online that could help.

What genres does Spectacle publish?
We are open to just about anything! We are currently seeking manuscripts for novels in various genres including psychological thrillers, romance, horror, scifi, fantasy, young adult and children’s books. We also consider works of non-fiction. If you have any questions or doubts about the genre of your work, please send us a message and we’ll do our best to help.

Is there an age limit for authors seeking publication with Spectacle?
Due to legal procedures, we do require authors to be at least 18 years old when submitting for publication.
