Common Questions
A few things worth knowing.
Is Beary Crafty Books a publisher or a bookstore?
Beary Crafty Books is being developed as both a publishing company offering author services and an online bookstore for readers.
Can I inquire about publishing my manuscript?
Yes. Send an overview that includes the genre, manuscript status, and type of assistance you're seeking. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee acceptance or a publishing agreement.
What happens after I contact you?
We'll discuss the project, goals, possible services, and proposed terms. Any agreed work and publishing arrangement will be documented before the project begins.
Who retains the rights to my book?
Rights, licenses, fees, royalties, and distribution arrangements depend on the written agreement for each project. These details are discussed before acceptance.
Can I shop for books right now?
Our online bookstore is in development. Shopping links on this page currently lead to the bookstore information section. We'll connect them to the live store once it launches.
Will print and digital editions be available?
We plan to explore both formats. Available editions and distribution options will be determined by the needs and arrangements of each title.
