Dear Author,
We are an Audio publishing company interested in receiving a
variety of short stories in all genres suitable for narrating on audio
cassette. All forwarded literature should be approximately 9,000 words
or longer.
All literature received will be reviewed, and the Authors will
be contacted if the material is suitable for recording. No material will
be used without the prior written consent of the Author in a mutual
agreement concerning payments and copyrights.
We would like to inform Authors that we do not want the copyrights
to the work, only permission to publish it on audio cassette. This
leaves the Author free to submit the same work to other projects or
publishers.
What we are offering for this is a payment of $200.00(US) upon
acceptance of using your work and royalties of 5% of the sales made.
Please feel free to forward all written material complete with
small story outline and word count to:
Elmtree Publishing

Attention: John LeComte
NOTE: If you belong to an association, club, or know of any other
Author
that might benefit from this project, could you please pass our name
along.
Thank you,
John LeComte
