About Siren-BookStrand
Since January 2006, Siren-BookStrand continues to be one of the
fastest-growing romance e-publishers in the world. We have
published over 2,500 original titles, with
over 2,000 in print format.
Our success
comes from knowing what our readers love to read and
delivering exactly the reading experience that meets their
expectations. Readers love our books because of the
well-developed characters and story lines as well as the hot
love scenes. Life without spice is bland, and we have
fourteen different imprints to meet every taste. We have a
large, loyal base of readers, many of whose permanent
bookshelves are stocked with hundreds of our titles. They
are passionate buyers of our books.
We publish
over 100 new titles each month, which are sold
exclusively at BookStrand.com for the first four to six
weeks. Our books are in high demand at our
major distributors, such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Our titles
are prominent on many of their bestseller lists. We strive to make
each book we publish the best that it can be.
At Siren-BookStrand,
many stars are born. We have over 500 authors writing for Siren-BookStrand. About
75 of these
authors write exclusively for us, many of whom dominate bestselling lists wherever their
current titles are sold. Our authors are talented, prolific, highly
imaginative, and all-around fabulous writers. They simply
are the best in the
e-pub industry.
Several dozen Siren-BookStrand authors consistently receive a
5-figure royalty payment quarterly, with about a dozen of
these authors earning between $100K to $400K annually. Under
the Siren Advance Payment Program, each month we pay out
over $200K in
advances to select authors who meet Publisher's specific
requirements. The monthly advances range between $1,000 to $25,000
per author.
Siren-BookStrand
was the first publisher to offer all our
authors access to real-time sales data for titles published
by us and sold from the BookStrand.com website. This adds to the
excitement of each new release and empowers our authors to make better informed decisions as
they write
and promote.
We brand our company and our imprints through many advertising venues, all of which are
solely at our cost. We spent over $300K in 2012 marketing
our company brand.
We are a
full-service, royalty-paying publishing company. Our authors never have to pay to be
published with us. We make royalty
payments to our authors on time, all the time.
We have
a staff of 25 full-time professionals who
have at least a bachelor's degree. All of our editors
major either in English or Journalism.
Our offices are headquartered in Austin,
Texas. Our regular business hours are Monday to Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., CST.
