Do your books improve the world?

Does your work suit our publishing mission?

Are you looking for a publisher who brings out the best in your work but also expects you to bring out the best in yourself? Perhaps you might be a good fit with us. Terra Perdita Publishing invites every writer who identifies with our mission to submit their work to us. You can find out how to do this further on this page.

Wat we offer

  • quality publications
  • experienced writing coaches and editors

We are a traditional publishing house. This means that we take care of the above-mentioned matters. If we offer you a contract, there are no costs associated with those. We do not require any financial investment from you. It also means that we expect our authors to optimally engage in promoting their work. You will receive a percentage of the proceeds from each book sold.

Make sure your book proposal contains the following:

  1. Title
  2. Genre
  3. Target audience
  4. Main characters in case of a work of fiction
  5. Themes
  6. Place and time
  7. Synopsis
  8. The first 4 chapters or at least 50 pages of your manuscript

Always address the following questions in your book proposal:

  • Content: What is your book about?
  • Relevance: What is the main argument of your book, what is new about this work?
  • Author: Why are you the one who should write this book?
  • Timing: Why should this book be published now?
