<h1>Wanted Ebooks</h1>
|
||
<p>If you’re interested in producing an ebook for Standard Ebooks, why not work on one of these books?</p>
|
||
<p>If something in this list interests you, please <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/standardebooks">contact us at our mailing list</a> for help before you start work.</p>
|
||
<p>If you want to suggest a different book to produce, please carefully review <a href="/contribute/accepted-ebooks">the kinds of work we will and won’t accept</a>.</p>
|
||
<h2>For your first production</h2>
|
||
<p>If nothing on the list below interests you, you can pitch us something else you’d like to work on.</p>
|
||
<p>First productions should be on the shorter side (around 40–60,000 words maximum) and without complex formatting issues like illustrations, significant endnotes, letters, poems, etc. Most short plain fiction novels fall in this category.</p>
