For Authors
We're building a publishing house where new authors are welcome, contracts are fair, and we actually help you succeed.
Too many talented authors never get a fair shot. We're changing that.
The traditional publishing world can feel impenetrable. Agents who never respond. Publishers who want established platforms. Contracts designed to confuse. We've seen too many great writers give up because the system wasn't built for them.
Makarios Media exists because we believe there's a better way. Whether you're a first-time author with a manuscript in a drawer or an experienced writer looking for a real partnership, we want to hear from you.
What matters is that your work has something real to say.
These aren't marketing slogans. This is how we actually work.
Transparent contracts written in plain language. No predatory terms, no gotchas. You'll understand exactly what you're signing before you sign it. We'll walk you through every clause.
Publishing is complicated. We guide you through the entire process — editing, cover design, formatting, distribution, marketing guidance. You're never left figuring it out alone.
We don't homogenize. Your book should sound like you, not like it went through a corporate filter. We help you find your best expression, not change who you are.
We're not asking you to pay thousands upfront to publish your book. We invest in projects we believe in. If we accept your manuscript, we're partners in its success.
Beautiful cover design, professional typesetting, quality printing. Your book will look as good as anything from a major publisher — because readers judge books by their covers, and you deserve one that sells.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, independent bookstores, libraries. We get your book everywhere readers are looking. Print and digital, domestic and international.
Tell us about yourself and your project. We read every submission and respond to everyone — usually within 2-3 weeks.
Don't worry about a formal query letter. Just tell us your story.
No. We accept direct submissions from authors. In fact, we prefer hearing from you directly.
Not necessarily. We're happy to discuss projects in progress or even strong concepts. Tell us where you are.
We're intentionally broad: children's books, education, spirituality, fiction, thought leadership, and more. If it has something real to say, we're interested.
We respond to every submission, usually within 2-3 weeks. If we're interested, we'll set up a call to discuss next steps.
No. We don't charge authors to publish. We invest in projects we believe in and share in the success together.
That's fine. Many great authors start by self-publishing. We care about the work, not the path you took to get here.
