Crime is a series business. Readers who finish book one buy book two the same night, and more than half the bestsellers live in Kindle Unlimited, where starting a series costs nothing. So we plan around the whole catalogue: book one priced to pull readers in, back matter that sends them to the next, and ads pointed at wherever the series actually earns.
“Crime” isn’t one shelf, though. A police-procedural reader, a psychological-suspense reader, and a true-crime reader are three different people who browse different categories and buy different covers. Put the wrong cover on a book and you lose readers both ways. Working out who a book is really for comes before the cover, the categories, and the first ad.
We publish both crime fiction and true crime: Ed James’s procedurals, Sheila Lowe’s forensic-handwriting mysteries, Andrew Kaplan’s espionage, and David Miraldi’s true-crime Edge books from the courtroom.
The rest is the same for every book. We read and assess it before talking fees, then proofing, formatting, cover, metadata, an ARC campaign through NetGalley and BookFunnel, and ads tested small before they spend real money. You keep your rights, royalties, and accounts. We charge a fee, and what we promise is the work, not the result.
