Faqs
1. Are you a traditional publisher?
Nope! We’re a small press with a boutique, hands-on approach.
We don’t offer book deals, and we don’t acquire manuscripts the traditional way.
Instead, we partner directly with authors to help them publish professionally and proudly.
2. Do I need an agent to submit my manuscript?
Absolutely not.
We love agents, but we don’t work with them.
At Audacious Books, you submit directly to us. It's simple, human, and stress-free.
3. What kinds of books do you publish?
We focus on different kinds of books, especially:
Leadership and personal growth
Memoirs and biographies
Business and entrepreneurship
Christian and inspirational writing
Creative nonfiction and thought leadership
Fiction (novels and short stories)
Children’s picture books
If your book fits one of these, we’re excited already.
4. What don’t you publish?
To keep our focus sharp, we currently do not publish:
• Erotica or explicit content
• Fantasy books
• Agent submitted manuscripts
5. How long does the publishing process take?
It depends on the stage of your manuscript and the services you need. Most projects take up to 12 months, but children’s books and complex manuscripts may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline once we review your work.
6. Do you charge for your services?
Yes.
Because we’re not a traditional publisher offering book deals, our services operate on a publishing partnership model. You invest in the editing, design, and production of your book, and you keep creative control.

We’ll guide you through the best pathways for your goals.
