Many publishing houses deal almost exclusively with agents, and many simply will not look at a proposal that is not submitted by an agent. Did you know that Tom Clancy and John Grisham both sold their first books without agents? At Roberts & Ross we want you to be get published and keep most of the money. We offer our authors an industry high 35% royalty on book sales.

However, while we will take full manuscripts, having a book written book proposal will help you get your manuscript published. If you don’t have one, use the form to the left to download a sample as a template.

What we publish and how we decide - our top 10 factors

We evaluate your proposal, then look at the idea to see if we like it. We then evaluate the author and the sample materials/manuscript to see if we think the execution can live up to the promise of the idea. One without the other is completely useless. We accept books from all genres. We consider all aspects of your book:

• Well Written
• Compelling
• Holds our Attention
• Fresh Perspective
• Good Story
• Well thought out
• Author’s passion for book
• Is there an audience for this book?
• What is the target market?
• Is it original?

Many other factors are also considered.
