Joint
/Co Author Project Submission Requirements
The
submission requirements set forth in
this document apply to all co-authors,
("you" or "your") participating in Self
Investment Publishing Company ("us",
"we", "our" or collectively "SIPC").
For the purpose of these terms, material
submitted for publication will
hereinafter be referred to as "the work"
or "your work."
Each author’s work is
distinct, discrete and separately
distinguishable within the collaborative
work.
If you
believe your expertise and/or experience
fits one of our particular titles, we
invite you to submit an
application
for consideration. This is your
first introduction to our editors and
tells us a little about you, your
expertise, experience and writing style. You may apply for more than one of
our projects.
Definitions:
Expert :a person
who has special skill or knowledge in a
particular field demonstrated by results
produced; specialist; authority; a
person who holds degrees or
certifications in specific knowledge or
skill; a person whose profession
required advanced education and degrees
or licenses.
Experience: personally encountering or undergoing something;
knowledge or practical wisdom gained
from what one has observed, encountered,
or undergone
Work
submitted based on experience must be
written in first person: Examples:
unacceptable: Seeking professional
help gives you strength and courage, and
allows you to deal with your experiences
in a healthy way.
acceptable: Seeking professional help
gave me strength and courage, and
allowed me to deal with my experiences
in a healthy way.
If you have
a recommended topic that is related to
our book title, but not currently listed
in our chapter headings list, please
indicate that in your application. The
chapter headings we have shown are not
the final chapter headings for the book.
Your submitted chapter topic will be
taken into consideration; however, there
is no guarantee that your topic will be
used as the main heading for the chapter
if we feel a better heading fits the
image and topic of the book.
Your work
submitted must be written
from as educational and informational not a sales
pitch or presentation of your products
and/or services. Your work submitted must
be 600 - 2000 words. If written
properly your words should compel the
reader to want to contact you for more
information, your services or products. Consider
your particular audience and what
information you can bring them. Keep
also in mind our marketing venues and
niche marketing that we will be
conducting
for specific titles.
You are
responsible for providing original
work. Any quotes must be carefully
cited, and if permission is required due
to a copyright, it is your
responsibility to acquire that written
permission and submit it with your
chapter. Permissions will be verified.
In books
where financial, mental health, medical
or legal topics are
included, co-authors, regardless of
profession, cannot recommend
specific investment products or render
case specific legal, medical or financial advice.
Your work must include
practical and clear solutions, tips or
techniques which are capable of
being duplicated
by the reader without the
requirement or need to
purchase any products or services in
addition to the book. (If
your tip, tool or technique is your
profession, then references to your
profession must be limited so as not
to give the appearance or impression of
a sales pitch. Each chapter in the
finished collective work will
conclude with the
Authors bio information. Each
Co-Author's contact information will be listed
in the reference section of the
book. Co-Authors with additional
published books or products may contract for
extra exposure in the reference
section of any of the book projects.
Each of our
co-author joint project books is an
excellent marketing tool.
In order to maintain your personality in
your work, you are responsible for style
and grammar of your chapter unless a
specific style has been designated to a
book in the submission requirements for
that book. Self Investment Publishing
will only check your chapter for
spelling errors. Grammatical errors, if questionable, may be brought to your attention
for correction.
Not all
stories will be published. Submission does not guarantee acceptance for
publication. Submitted works will be chosen that best fit the purpose
for each specific book. If
you have
questions or need more information, it is important that you ask those
in your application.
Each project
has deadlines. It is important to
maintain these deadlines in the timely
submission of your work. Your deadlines
will be provided upon acceptance of your
application.
