Adelaide Books Catalog 2018

ADELAIDE BOOKS, an imprint of the Adelaide Literary Magazine, was founded in July 2017, with the aim to
facilitate publishing of novels, memoirs, and collections of short stories, poems, and essays by contributing
authors of our magazine. We believe that in doing so, we best fulfill the mission outlined in Adelaide Magazine
– “to promote writers we publish, helping both new and emerging, and established authors reaching a wider
literary audience.” All titles are published in paperback and eBook format and offered through our distributors
for bookstore distribution in the US, and through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers for
online sale worldwide. Optionally, we do hardcover editions with or without dust-jacket. Additionally, we offer
the possibility of translating books into Portuguese and Spanish and publishing short-run paperback editions
for distribution in bookstores in Portugal and Spain. We offer to our authors two unique publishing contract
options which guarantee full transparency of the pre-print and post-print publishing process, and generous
royalties paid in a timely manner. We are members of the Independent Book Publishers Association. Authors
interested in publishing with Adelaide Books can contact us and/or send their queries and proposals
to [email protected].
