Can I see a sample of the publishing services agreement?
Yes. A downloaded copy of a sample of our publishing agreement is at the bottom of the Publish with Us page. Anyone can review it before contacting us, and we are happy to explain the details.
Who owns the rights to my book?
You do. The rights to a book imply ownership. When publishing with Wahrheit & Vernunft, you (the author) own all the rights to your book. A contract with a traditional publisher will usually involve you relinquishing the rights of your book to the publisher, freeing the publisher to alter, price, promote, and package your book as it sees fit. Note that some print-on-demand publishers also retain the rights to your book, restricting you from future opportunities.
Can I publish with another publishing company?
You may publish elsewhere because you, the author, maintain all copyrights to your book(s) published with Wahrheit & Vernunft. That other publisher, however, may have restrictions.
Do you ever turn down manuscripts?
Yes. Please consult the About Us page. Wahrheit & Vernunft adheres to specific theological convictions and will only publish manuscripts that align with them.
Will my book be formally copyrighted?
Yes. The copyright registration will be in your name. The copyright submission is made on the date of publication to ensure that your completed project is covered. You will be billed separately for all associated fees, so they are easy to track.
Can libraries order my book?
Yes. Libraries can order through the major distributors we partner.
