Synecdoche Publishing is based off of commission:
Authors receive 50% of future royalties. Primary editors receive 25% of future royalties. Secondary editors receive 5% of future royalties. Synecdoche Publishing is designed to ensure quality work, not only by employing skilled editors, but also because editors only earn money if their projects earn money. This means that editors will only take on a project if they truly believe in its artistic value. Then they will pour all of their skills and knowledge into working with the artist to produce the best project possible. If you have a project you would like us to take a look at visit synecdochepublishing.wordpress.com and you may fill out the form provided on the “Contact” page with a short (1,000 words or less) description of your project. The description should include a basic outline of the project's content, genre/format expectations, and intended audience. Make sure to check the “Submission” box at the bottom of the contact form before submitting. Your project description will then be made available to all Synecdoche editors and if it sparks the interest of one of them, they will contact you promptly. Synecdoche functions by employing a web of editors to seek out quality art which they believe deserves a chance to be viewed by the public. The editors are then responsible for producing and overseeing the entire project. Primary editors do not earn a consistent payroll. Instead, they earn the rights to 25% of all future royalties which their projects collect. If they complete all of the required tasks on their own, the entire 25% is theirs, but they also have the option of trading a piece of their 25% for assistance from other Synecdoche editors (the details of this are further explained when applying for an editor position). For this reason, we do require editors to be qualified in at least one valuable publishing skill: copy editing or graphic design. If you are interested in a job as an editor then email your resume to [email protected].
