If you are interested in publishing with Nimble Books, read these pages first:

1. What is a “nimble book”? – briefly, it is 60 -120 pp, 8 x 10, color interior, 15,000 to 40,000 words with 1-100 images. Note: we also publish standard length books.
2. The Nimble Books Standard Contract (for authors and editors of collected works).
3. The Nimble Books Marketing Playbook.

The business model is nimble, too: no fees to the author (ever), no inventory, no advances, no returns, better royalties. It’s the wave of the future because it fixes a lot of things that are broken with traditional publishing. HarperCollins recently started testing something similar.
