    We believe in the WIN-WIN!

    When signing with our press, we encourage you to participate in our training courses, work side-by-side with our team of qualified professionals to produce your novel, and be hands-on when launching and marketing your novel. In other words, you become a valuable member of our wolfpack!

     

    We Don’t Just Publish Everyone

    Although we are open to the idea of Partnership Publishing, it doesn’t mean that we will accept any and all novels to be published by Winterwolf Press and Shadow Wolf Press. We still have guidelines we follow. It does mean, however, that we will be able to accept and publish more books each year.
