Somewhere out there, in a file on a laptop hard drive, is the next great sci-fi novel.
You've spent years working on it, and more years editing it, agonizing over tiny details.
Maybe a few months in writer's groups taking criticism and comments. Perhaps some feedback from friends and family. Probably a few submissions to agents and publishers that have languished for months without reply. It glows in the darkness, a secret jewel brought to life by your mind.
Factorial is a modern digital publisher focusing on sci-fi. We want to shine spotlights on those hidden gems and turn them into global bestsellers.
Focused, fast and fair.
​​​​​​​
We're looking for a dramatic, cinematic novel-length sci-fi story with the DNA to become a global bestseller. ​It could be the one you have saved on your computer right now. ​​​
​​
To find out, all you have to do is email your manuscript to the address below. We will take just 5 days to assess a manuscript and respond.
​​​​
​If the answer is positive, we will immediately offer you a publishing contract. ​​​​​The main features of the contract are about as author friendly as you will find: a 50/50 split of net revenues, in exchange for worldwide English rights for e-books, paperbacks and audiobooks. We do not pay an acquisition fee or advance.
​
If you agree, we will assign a group of professional, experienced editors to help polish the manuscript, consult with you to create luscious, compelling cover art, take care of all the behind-the-scenes nuts and bolts of publishing, and develop an original, highly visual promotional campaign with an impactful marketing budget. We will also work with partners to develop your story in other media and global markets.
​​​​​​​​​​
We are a commercial digital-first publisher, and there is no cost to authors for any aspect of the process of publishing or promoting your book.

​​
​​
No special requirements. No finicky instructions about margins, spacing or fonts, no need for a cover letter, an extract, an outline or a synopsis.​​ No diary entry for when submissions open. Whatever format you have, we can read it.
​​​
Make sure that it is your own original work, that you own the copyright, and that you send a complete, novel-length manuscript in a single attachment.
​​
By submitting you are allowing us to consider the manuscript for publication, and that is what we will do, as quickly and fairly as possible.
