  1. I am interested in writing these items, however the brief is rather vague, not giving any idea of wordcounts or rates per word or per manuscript. Would the publisher be kind enough to expand the brief a little more, please?

  2. I was just wondering if there was a age limit/what the age limit was to doing this. Like, if there’s a minimum age..? Cause I was thinking of asking my parents if I could do this but I won’t even bother if I’m too young..

  3. Nikki hope you well. I like to ask you the detailed info lenght of each manuscript to be submited to your office. May God bless.

    dear young write note that publisher need quality service something that is easy to be marketable from title and quality english you wrote with let. Me give you example of the long gravel on the clean road is a title am a author of this book. When the sky is rough the dimmed became my pride just like poppy and charms I dedicated my life to you once again you rejected my word as if you won the price. This book contains of love and romance capable to read by person from 21 years old is contains of fictions.
