This is also known as trade publishing. It the type of publishing where the manuscript submitted to the publisher is reviewed and then selected for publishing. The publisher will design the cover, edit it, copyright it, market it, and  distribute the book through book stores and book dealers. The publisher will also assign or find a agent or business manager to represent the author and help in the publishing process. Trade publishers sell their books through the channels that have been specifically established for books—bookstores, libraries, and wholesalers. Trade books are published for children, teenagers, and adults. They can be works of fiction or nonfiction, hardcover or paperback. Generally, trade publishing is the most high profile type of publishing as it is the most commercially focused.

      This type of publishing is almost the exact same as traditional publishing with one exception. After a manuscript is submitted and reviewed it is not always selected for publishing, but if the manuscript submitted is not selected the author join the Starving Writers Partners program. To have your books your books published through this program you will purchase a service package and pay the set up costs for your book to be published through Starving Writers Publishing. You still receive the same full services as traditional publishing, but you have to set your title up with us and there are set up costs. Now after this is done and your book is selling once you have sold 600 copies of your book (purchasing your own book with your author discount counts as a sale too) you will receive a Starving Writers Publishing Rebate - we give you money back based on the success of your book. The money you receive in the rebate is the fee you paid to set your title up through Starving Writers Publishing. You are rewarded for being our partner in the success of your book and you will not have to self publish your book. This gives you the chance to publish your book without having to be rejected. For authors not selected for traditional publishing this is the best option. For Pricing information go to service fees or click on partners program to read more about it.
