JOIN US AT DVP

 

Deux Voiliers Publishing (DVP) is looking to publish a few very good first-time Canadian novelists in 2019. Translations, especially by first-time literary translators, are also very welcome. Before submitting a manuscript, please bear in mind that DVP is more of a writers-plus collective than a traditional small press. While all profits on book sales are passed back to the authors, the authors are expected to volunteer their time to evaluate new submissions, copy-edit, proofread and promote the work of other DVP authors.

 

Non-author associates are also welcome to join on a volunteer basis, i.e. copy editors, proofreaders, graphic artists, book reviewers, search-engine optimizers, web designers, social media specialists, etc. We seek to optimize creative fun for everyone!

 

Please note that although we are a very small general fiction publisher, our editorial selection process is quite tough. We will evaluate each submission for its quality, When new writers show promise but still require significant editorial assistance, we will work with these writers not only to enable them to up their game but also to gain the exposure needed for their subsequent works to be picked up by traditional publishers. In this way, we hope to make lasting contributions to the success of the authors' careers. Six of our authors have gone on to publish with traditional publishers, two authors have had their books optioned for films and one author has had two of her novels translated into French.
