Query
Hello, I'm Alice Abyss, and I believe the world needs your story. No one else can tell it the way you can, with your unique voice, experiences, and perspective. At Asclepius Press, we are passionate about helping authors share their stories with the world. Your book has the power to change lives, spark inspiration, and offer a new perspective. We want to partner with you to bring that vision to life.
Retain the Rights to YOUR Story
We're the publisher, but you're the artist. Unlike most publishers, Asclepius Press is committed to helping authors retain full rights to their work. When you publish with us, you keep ownership of your book. If a TV or film executive wants to adapt your story for the screen, that decision (and the check) is all yours. YOU wrote your book; YOU own your work. We want to empower you, help you share your story, and see you succeed in every way possible.
We're Looking for Promising Books
These following options are available for authors whose manuscripts are approved. If you're ready to see if Asclepius Press is the right fit for your work, we invite you to send your manuscript to info@asclepius.press. We’re searching for well-written, engaging books that captivate readers and resonate on a deeper level. We accept both fiction and nonfiction, with a special preference for mythology-themed works — whether fiction or nonfiction — as well as travel memoirs. We look forward to discovering your unique voice and story!
​
Please be patient. Due to volume, it may take up to six months for Asclepius Press to review your submission.
​
Publishing a book takes time, expertise, and dedication, which is why we offer two options to get your book published:​
Option 1: Legacy Partnership
With our Legacy Partnership, we handle the publishing, formatting, and copy editing with no upfront cost to you. Instead, we simply ask to retain the first 250 books’ full profits to cover our production costs. Every order during this time will be fulfilled by Asclepius Press, ensuring that readers can seamlessly access your work.
​
Imagine your book being shipped directly from a professional, well-crafted eCommerce site, where every detail — from the beautiful listing to the packaging — reflects the quality of your story. There’s no need for you to worry about shipping or handling; Asclepius Press has it all covered. And once we reach that 250-book milestone, we’ll support you in listing your book on Amazon under your own author account, so you have complete control of your sales, royalties, and distribution.
​
During the initial 250-book phase, books are available for readers across the United States. Additional charges may apply for orders from Alaska, Hawaii, and international locations. When the 250-book goal is met, we’ll help you make your book available to readers worldwide. You will still be able to sell your book with Asclepius Press after the 250-book phase has been met, and you will be charged a reasonable amount for listing, like any other retailer.
Option 2: Upfront Payment
For a one-time fee of $1,000, Asclepius Press will handle all the essentials to bring your book to life: publishing, formatting, and copy editing. Price may vary based on project length and genre. With this option, you start earning on every book sold immediately, with full control over your royalties and sales. We’ll walk you through setting up your Amazon listing under your own author account, giving you direct access to monitor sales, track royalties, and guide your book’s journey.
​
Additionally, for authors choosing this option, we offer the choice to list your book on the Asclepius Press website. For a modest stocking and handling fee, we’ll handle all fulfillment, giving your book a premium showcase on our eCommerce platform — without you needing to manage any shipping or packaging.
Additional Services
Both of our options cover the fundamentals of publication: interior formatting, copy editing, and getting your book into the world. For additional services — such as developmental editing, cover design, or marketing packages — please reach out for a personalized consultation. We’re here to make every step of your journey as smooth as possible.
