MAQUINE
Preparing this page…
Submissions
Share a rights opportunity without confidential files.
MAQUINE reviews selected titles, backlists, and rights lists from publishers, agents, authors, and rightsholders with clear authority. Begin with a bounded, non-confidential summary covering rights status, public publication context, available materials, and the desired partnership outcome.
Submission Packet
Useful submissions arrive with authority and materials.
MAQUINE reviews rights opportunities, not loose requests. The first packet should make ownership, availability, market signal, and desired outcome clear.
Rightsholder or authorized representative
Title, author, original publisher, and publication history
Current rights status by language, territory, and format
Non-confidential synopsis, public catalog link, manuscript availability status, and metadata
Sales, reviews, awards, press, classroom, or community signal
Desired outcome: representation, foreign edition strategy, partner introduction, or catalog review
What MAQUINE Declines
The house is selective so the rights desk stays useful.
Declining the wrong work is part of protecting the right work. These requests are outside the MAQUINE intake path.
Uncontrolled manuscripts without rights authority
Document translation jobs
Per-word localization requests
Titles with unclear ownership or unresolved third-party material
Open submissions without sample material or publication context
Review Route
Send the packet only when the rights position can be discussed by an authorized party.
Send a bounded, non-confidential rights summary to submissions@maquinepublishing.com.
Do not attach a full or sample manuscript, payment or identity evidence, an agreement, a deliverable, or any other confidential file. Use only a private route that MAQUINE expressly activates for the specific review.
