Amira Press

Anyone have first hand experience with them?
They look good.

From what I can tell they are a fairly new-ish epub.
Just wanted to hear that they are good to work with and what the $ is like.
thanks!

I believe they are about two years old--not that new for an epub.

One of my books has sold about 1000 copies so far. Another one, a few hundred. Another one, just ok. The high selling one is in my new series, so I'm hoping the sequels will sell decently. That great one made the others start really selling again. I think it depends some on the type of book you write.

They're a small press, my book hasn't been out two months yet, and it was only out a couple of weeks during the last period but I earned royalties as was promptly paid. (It's going to third party sites starting this month, so sales will pick up.) They've always been fast to answer questions, and I have no complaints with them. Nice group of people to work with.

Lesli.

Thanks guys that helps a lot.


BrendaS, what genre is your biggest seller?

Okay, computer ate my first attempt, so if it comes through twice, sorry.

So far, so good, I love working with Amira Press. Royalties and statements are sent out promptly, the editing is great, and I love the artwork. They answer questions promptly and they've been fantastic to work with. Great group of people that I hope to stay with for a long time.

They recently updated their submissions requirements, so check their submissions page before you send a query..

I'll 3rd what BrendaS and madmumbler have said (although my novella with Amira hasn't reached 1000 copies worth of sales)

They are terrific people to work with. No warnings or red lights from my experience.

I recently signed a contract for an e-book with Amira Press, under a pen name, and they have been amazing to work with. I would recommend this publisher to anyone, and I hope to do more work with them in the future.

I am working with Amira again, on another, longer e-book. Everything is smooth sailing so far, as they are very businesslike and pleasant. They are great to work with. I would encourage anyone to submit to them.

Just wondered if anyone had any current news or thoughts on Amira Press. I've read a couple of their books and enjoyed them. In my very inexpert opinion, their covers are pretty impressive but they don't have many offerings.

I'm no longer an Amira Press author (my contracts expired and I didn't renew) but they are a good, honest publisher. They are small, and they do have some niches, but editing was excellent, payment always timely, and never any problems. Small house, yes, but also a reliable one. Look at their catalog and current submission requirements to see if you'd be a good fit with them.

They still seem to be going strong, any new updates?
