fanStory.com has partnered with traditional royalty paying print publishers in order to provide a path to print for successful fanStory.com authors.

We offer a priority review to fanStory.com writers that have a completed book on the site that has done well.

To request a review is simple. Authors can use our "Print Publish Review" certificate on the first chapter of their completed book. The certificate requests that fanStory.com consider sending it to a print publisher partner.

fanStory.com will first review the book. If it passes the fanStory.com review process we will contact the Print Publish Partner that we have selected and request a priority review. If the print partner agrees to publish it (and the author agrees to publish with them) the authors book will be sold on fanStory.com and our soon to be released bookstore.

fanStory.com will assist with marketing books that are printed from fanStory.com print publishers. In addition, we will contact the authors fan base when a book is printed.

Our print publish partners are PublishAmerica and Winterwolf Publishing.

Books are also sold in traditional book stores but it varies based on the publisher. We recommend checking with the publisher, asking questions and finding out from the publisher where specifically your book will be sold if accepted. Q: If fanStory.com reviews my book and sends it to a print publisher does that mean they have to accept it?

Publishers will review the book to determine if they are interested in publishing it. Q: How does fanStory.com market my book if accepted by a print partner? A: When your book is available in print we will notify your fan base. Your book will be available from your profile.

We also show ads througout the site marketing books from fanStory.com authors in print. In early 2005, we will be opening a bookstore that will feature only fanStory.com authors.
