However, we ask that you only submit a proposal if you have at some point supported the press. This includes:

This year we’d like to publish something weird, well-crafted, and amusing. We enjoy horror, sci-fi, and speculative writing. We’re open to almost any form, including fiction, poetry, and comics. In concluding, it argues that there is a need for widening access professionals, with an in-depth understanding of the learners with whom they work, operating at each stage of the students’ journey. This means that there is a crucial role for regional and national networks to enable these professionals to share practice and facilitate greater collaboration across the education sector to improve equality in higher education.If we like your idea and think it could be a fit, we’ll ask to see the full manuscript, so please only submit if you’re relatively close to completing a draft of your project. How to submit The basic difference is this: legitimate publishers make their money by selling books to the general public; vanity publishers claim to do this, but actually make their money by selling publishing services to unwary authors. Some things which aren’t vanity publishing… These companies work with self-publishing authors to help them bring their books to completion. They may offer editing, proofreading, printing or marketing services in exchange for a fee. Reputable companies will be honest about their role, and will not pretend to be publishers. If you’ve decided that you want to self-publish, but don’t know where to get started (and don’t want to take the time to learn) these companies could be right for you. How a vanity publisher typically works Before sending in a proposal, please consider whether a very small press is a good fit for your project. We publish work that is intentionally niche. You may wish to seek a larger or more mainstream publisher. What we’re looking for

Neon Books is a tiny press with limited resources. To give you an idea of the scale of our press, here are some figures: Proposals are welcome from anyone, anywhere in the world and at any stage in their career. You do not need to have publishing credits or a social media following. Shio was a genius but his friends got jobs and moved away. To stay on the honorable side of the wall, he had to do his job, stay in the lane, maintain normality, etc. Shio lives with a twenty pound Shiba and his AI Aimee. Aimee is smart enough and now knows what Shio wants. So, Aimee presents him the things he want without him even asking. His friends had moved on to new phases and experiences. On the other hand, Shio follows routine life. His friends have their families and Shio feels alienated from them. One fateful day, as Shio was on his way home from work, he boarded a train and witnessed two men engaged in a heated argument, which escalated to the sound of a gunshot. Curiosity compelled Shio to tail these men, and the reasons for his actions unravel in the story, raising questions about potential danger. Key is a man without a past. The phrase "We're going to do wonderful things to you" haunted his thoughts. He can get a maximum of four hours of sleep. He had gone through the saw pressed against his skin over and over. Now, he is used to it. He wants to put the past to rest.

Sukoshio was a bright student in school. He was called brilliant, prodigy and genius at school. Yet, he isn't at the same place as his friends. Shio is a customer service representative. According to some, coming to Galivaria is a chance to make a name for yourself but Galivaria is far from paradise. Most Galivarians were pencil-pushing salary workers whose only destinations in life were their cubicles, tiny one-room apartments, and ultimately the grave. Neon Books publishes one or two small, odd books each year: novellas, poetry pamphlets, short story chapbooks, or other esoteric projects.
