TWB Press publishes stories of human conflict and redemption through a variety of world views that reflect humanity at its best...and at its worst. Established in 2007 and now approaching 20 years in the publishing business, TWB Press has signed 68 authors, many for the first time, and released over 188 titles. Specializing in Science Fiction, Supernatural, Horror, and Thriller, TWB Press authors have appeared in articles by Writer’s News, Night Owl Reviews, Writing Magazine, Women’s Book Reviews, Essential Writers, Page of Reviews, Sense Magazine, the Gore Score, and more. TWB Press also publishes Romance, Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, and some Mainstream Comedy. TWB is NOT a vanity publisher, but a traditional, royalty-paying press that publishes e-books, paperbacks, and audiobooks for sale via the Internet across more than a dozen distributors such as Amazon, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Apple, Kobi, Bookshop, and more. All publications are governed by an industry-standard contract.
About the editor: Terry Wright started TWB Press after being totally frustrated with the glacial pace of the publishing industry. He owned an auto repair shop for 36 years, so he brings a solid business background to his publishing company. Being a writer first, he also brings over 30 years of experience to the publishing table. He’s been traditionally published in Science Fiction, Supernatural, and Horror, both in print and electronically. His experience includes over 19 years critiquing authors for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, judging writers' contests, running a national writing contest, facilitating writers’ workshops, speaking at conferences, participating in author panels, and appearing at library events and bookstore signings across the Denver-Metro area, plus Milwaukee, WI, Memphis, TN, and Orlando, FL, to name a few others. As an award-winning screenplay writer, his three scripts have placed in international screenwriting competitions, including Scriptapalooza, Moondance, Exposurama, WILDsound, and AWS. A love for storytelling and the knowledge gleaned from these experiences enhance his contributions to TWB Press, its authors, and their readers. He truly believes a story is weighed and measured by the way it makes the reader FEEL, not only while reading it, but long after the last page is turned. For readers, TWB Press offers only the best stories worthy of your entertainment dollar.
To interested authors, it costs nothing but time, blood, sweat, and tears to be published by TWB Press. All submissions under contract are fully edited through several rounds of drafts, whatever it takes to make the story the best that it can be.
Submissions to TWB Press are industry standard and straight forward. First: No Simultaneous Submissions, Please. Terry doesn’t have the time to waste reading a manuscript only to have it pulled out from under him. The process starts with a query letter attached to the body of an email with “Query” in the subject line, addressed to Terry. Include a brief introduction, how you heard about TWB Press, the title, genre, and word count, a one-sentence logline, a one-paragraph burb (150 words), publishing credits, and contact information/social media URLs. A query is one page, does not include a synopsis, and please refrain from expressing how great your story is and how all the world will love it.
DO NOT ATTACH ANYTHING TO THIS EMAIL. If you do, it will be deleted.
If Terry is interested in what you have to offer, he’ll ask for the manuscript in a Word document file attached to an email to submissions@twbpress.com. If your manuscript is not formatted perfectly, he’ll fix it, but if it's a hodgepodge of tabs and spaces and no header or page numbers, he won't read it. A professionally formatted manuscript tells him you’re a serious writer.
