What publishing options are available to me at FSHE? The most common publishing option at FSHE is the “hybrid”, where the author pays a percentage of the full fee for the production and promotion of their book, and FSHE pays the rest.

From 2020, FSHE will begin to offer traditional publishing contracts as a prize for a literary competition. Terms and conditions will apply.

Does FSHE offer a self-publishing option? No, we don’t.

Do I need a literary agent to be published by FSHE? No, you don’t.

How long does your publishing process take? We aim to release a title within six months of receiving a complete first manuscript draft.

Will I win awards if I become an FSHE author? It is unethical for a publisher to promise any author, award nominations or wins. Unless one has a crystal ball or fortune-telling abilities, intends to buy an award or rig a process (all of which FSHE does not engage in or encourage) – it is impossible for a publisher to predict award hopes, especially for a book that hasn’t been published.

Will I become rich and famous if FSHE publishes my book(s)? While FSHE takes the time and effort to create your book and work with you to market it, we have no way of knowing if or when fame and fortune will happen; nobody does. But one of the ways that FSHE is different from others is in our marketing plan, which is designed to find and fine-tune an author’s voice.

If I publish with you, how much will the marketing plan cost? The marketing plan is part of all our publishing packages at FSHE.
